Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 pound tri tip

- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika

Instructions

- Heat a large cast iron skillet on the stove top over high heat. Once hot, add 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil and sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and a crust forms.
- Transfer the hot cast iron skillet with the tri tip to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes per pound depending on desired doneness.(see notes) Use a meat thermometer for proper cooking.

- Once it reaches the desired internal temperature, remove from oven and loosely tent with foil. Allow the roast to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Transfer tri tip to a cutting board and slice against the grain.
