Instructions
Combine all the ingredients, except the tri tip, and whisk well.
Place the tri tip in the marinade. You can do this in a covered 9x13 dish, as long as the side with the most fat is up and the meat is in the marinade. You can also use a zipper top bag.
Let marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Place the tri tip in the oven on a roasting rack or in a 9x13 pan, fat side up and roast for 20 minutes.
Flip over so the fat side is down and roast for another 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 135ºF, medium rare.
Notes
Some tri-tip comes trimmed, and some come with a fat cap. Either is fine. You can trip the fat cap, or you can leave it on for this recipe.
