Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, canola oil, white sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, kosher salt, onion salt, paprika, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and minced dried onion. Whisk together until the marinade is well-blended.
2
Place the trimmed tri-tip roast in a sealed plastic container or a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the tri-tip, ensuring it is completely covered. Seal the container or bag and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 6 hours, but for best results, marinate overnight.
3
When ready to cook, heat your grill to medium temperature.
4
Remove the tri-tip from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. This allows for more even cooking.
5
Place the tri-tip on the grill at a 45-degree angle to create beautiful grill marks. Grill for about 35 minutes, turning halfway through, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
6
Once cooked, remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 2 to 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7
Slice the tri-tip against the grain and serve it with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
