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.
The real answer is it depends, but a total time of 25 - 30 minutes for a smaller tri-tip is usually a good starting guess. Each tri-tip roast and grill is different though, so you really need to use a meat thermometer to make sure the roast is cooked to perfection.
