Recipe View 1 hrs 45 mins Roast in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, flipping the meat over halfway through the cooking time (about 45-60 minutes in). (90-120 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Remove the pan from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let the meat rest for 20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins After resting, transfer the tri-tip to a cutting board. Locate where the grain of the meat changes direction and cut the roast into two pieces along this line. Then, slice the meat thinly across the grain. (5 minutes)
