    Juicy Oven Tri-Tip Roast - Tender and juicy tri-tip roast marinated overnight in a flavor packed tenderizing marinade then seared hot in a skillet and finished in the oven.

    JUMP TO RECIPE

    A delicious tri-tip roast recipe marinated in balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic and seasonings for a super tender and flavorful end result.

    After marinating, the roast is seared in a cast iron skillet for a delicious crusty exterior and then finished in the oven to your preferred doneness. I personally like my roast cooked medium-rare which is how I cooked my roast (as seen in pics).

    You can serve your roast with a wide variety of side dishes such as mashed or roasted potatoes, a fresh salad, roasted veggies, and more. I served my roast with bbq bacon baked beans, roasted rosemary garlic potatoes and Texas toast.

    This tri-tip is also great sliced and served in tacos, burritos, as a sandwich, and more! I will link some of my favorite side dishes to serve with this recipe for you below.

    Ingredients you need for this recipe:

    • Tri-Tip Roast - About a 2-3 pound roast. I cut a 5 pound roast in half and place the remaining half in the freezer for another day.
    • Balsamic Vinegar
    • Red Wine Vinegar
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Brown Sugar
    • Onion
    • Garlic
    • Black Pepper + Salt
    • Paprika
    • Mustard
    • Olive Oil
    • Garlic Powder
    • Onion Powder

    Tools to have on hand:

    • Cast Iron Skillet or Nonstick Skillet
    • Baking Sheet
    • Oven Rack
    • Large Storage Bag
    • Measuring Spoons and Cups
    • Meat Thermometer

    How to make a juicy oven tri tip roast:

    Add all marinade ingredients to a large bowl and whisk to combine.

    Place your tri-tip in a large storage bag and pour marinade over the roast. Seal bag and gently shake bag around to fully coat the roast. Place in the fridge for at least 8 hours but ideally 24 hours. Flip bag over about halfway through to make sure the roast is evenly marinating.

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Heat a cast iron skillet to high heat. Once very hot, add oil and begin to sear the roast on all sides for about 2 minutes until there is a nice char.

    Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes depending on your preferred doneness. 130 degrees for rare, 140 degrees for medium-rare, 145 degrees for medium. You will need a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

    Once done, remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve.

    Beef Roast temperatures for preferred doneness:

    • Rare: 125-130 degrees
    • Medium-Rare: 135-140 degrees
    • Medium: 140-145 degrees
    • Medium-Well: 150-155 degrees
    • Well Done: 155+ degrees

    Side dishes to serve with your roast:

    BBQ Bacon Baked Beans - Savory baked beans made with bacon, onion and peppers in a savory sauce with a dash of maple syrup.

    Creamy Mashed Potatoes - Easy, creamy, buttery mashed potatoes sprinkled with fresh parsley. When it comes to mashed potatoes, the more butter the better!

    Honey Roasted Whole Carrots - Whole carrots seasoned with honey, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and fresh dill roasted to perfection in the oven.

    Oven Steak Fries - With a very light crunch on the outside and soft potato center, these baked fries are mouth watering delicious.

    Scalloped Potatoes - Thinly sliced potatoes layered in a creamy sauce with cheddar cheese baked to a golden perfection.

    Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato - Sautéed brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes tossed with crispy bacon, sweet cranberries and toasted pine nuts.

    If you enjoyed this recipe, here are a few more recipes I think you'll love:

    Oven Ribeye Steak - Crusty, tender and delicious bone-in ribeye steaks seared on a cast iron skillet and finished in the oven.

    Slow Cooked Tender London Broil - This London broil recipe is super easy and absolutely melt in your mouth delicious. The flavor is slightly sweet but mostly savory. If you are looking for a tender, pull-apart London broil recipe that takes very little effort from start to finish, look no further!

    Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Roast - Tender and delicious pork roast slow cooked in a crockpot with a sticky balsamic brown sugar glaze.
