Ingredients

2-3 lbs / 900-1350 g tri-tip roast
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp dried rosemary
2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Tri-Tip**: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim excess fat from the tri-tip and pat it dry. Rub with olive oil.
2. **Mix Seasoning**: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, rosemary, thyme, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the tri-tip roast, pressing it into the meat.
3. **Sear**: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tri-tip for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until a browned crust forms.
4. **Roast in Oven**: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the tri-tip until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, approximately 20-25 minutes.
5. **Rest and Slice**: Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. This step ensures the juices are reabsorbed, keeping the meat tender. Slice against the grain before serving.
