Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to make a paste.
- Step 2: Rub the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the 2 lb tri-tip roast, covering all sides. Let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place the tri-tip on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once to develop grill marks and crust.
- Step 4: Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
