Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2-2 1/2 pound Tri-Tip Roast
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Olive oil
Directions:
Directions:
Trim the large chunks of fat (or have your butcher do this) from the tri-tip, and cut the thin silvery skin off if you can.
Rub the salt all over the tri-tip.
Combine the remaining seasonings (except the olive oil) in a small bowl and rub into the tri-tip. (*It will seem like a lot, but that's a good thing!).
Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large zip-top bag. Place the spice rubbed tri-tip in the bag with the olive oil and rub it in to coat completely. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Place in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours, or up to 36 hours.
When ready to grill, preheat the grill to about 350-400 degrees.
Place the tri-tip directly over the flames on the hot grill. Close the lid and watch for flare-ups.
Cook approximately 8-10 minutes per side for medium rare. It can take up to 20-25 minutes to cook a 2 pound tri-tip, so check the temperature (120 degrees for rare, 130 for medium rare and 140 for medium), or in a pinch use the flesh test (see notes).
Place the cooked roast on a cutting board to rest, covered loosely with foil for about 10 minutes.
Uncover and cut in half, where the grain changes direction, then cut each piece against the grain into 1/2 inch slices.

Serve immediately.
