Here's a simple recipe for cooking a tri-tip roast:

Ingredients:

• 1 tri-tip roast (approximately 2-3 pounds)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Olive oil or vegetable oil
• Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, or your favorite steak seasoning

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Take the tri-tip roast out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly. Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. Seasoning: Season the tri-tip roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides. You can also add any additional seasonings you like, such as garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, or your favorite steak seasoning, to enhance the flavor. Press the seasonings into the meat to ensure they adhere well.

3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Sear the Roast (Optional): If you're using a grill, you can sear the tri-tip roast over direct heat for a few minutes on each side to develop a nice crust. If you're using an oven, you can skip this step and move directly to the next.

5. Roasting: Transfer the tri-tip roast to a grill or oven-safe pan or dish. If using a grill, place the roast on the indirect heat side or reduce the heat to medium. If using an oven, place the roast in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet.

6. Cooking Time: Cook the tri-tip roast for about 20-30 minutes per pound, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; medium-rare is around 130-135°F (55-57°C), while medium is around 140-145°F (60-63°C).

7. Resting: Once the tri-tip roast reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the grill or oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavourful roast.

8. Slicing and Serving: After resting, slice the tri-tip roast thinly against the grain. This helps ensure tenderness. Serve the slices immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.

Enjoy your deliciously cooked tri-tip roast!
