Michelle | Feb 28, 2005. Hello fellow 'hounds, I have a tri-tip roast, a little over 2 pounds, that I would like to roast in the oven. I've checked on-line, and all the instructions I find say to cook it at 425 degrees F. for a total of 30-40 minutes.
Your first step will be to sear the tri-tip directly over the coals. I usually need 3 to 5 minutes a side for the tri-tip roast to develop a nice Malliard crust. Once crusted on both sides, I move the tri-tip to the indirect heat side of the grill and add my soaked wood chips/chunks to the charcoal.At this point, you are effectively grill-roasting-smoking your tri-tip until it is done.You have a nice crust and the goal is to add flavor via the smoke while bringing the roast to a medium rare temperature of 125 degrees. Depending on the size of your tri-tip, this can take from 25 to 45 minutes total.t this point, you are effectively grill-roasting-smoking your tri-tip until it is done.
