Grilled Tri-Tip: Juicy, Smoky, and Perfectly Seasoned

Can I cook tri-tip indoors?
Yes! Sear on the stovetop in a cast-iron skillet, then finish in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until desired doneness.

How do I know when it’s done?
Use a meat thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Can I prepare it ahead of time?
Tri-tip can be seasoned and refrigerated a few hours in advance. Bring to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
