🥘Ingredients

For the Steak

2 pounds beef tri tip
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

👨‍🍳Directions

1Remove the tri tip from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
2Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the meat.
3Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Apply the dry rub evenly to all sides of the tri tip.
4Preheat your grill to medium high heat, or preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
5If grilling, place the steak on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F.

6Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain and serve.
