Notes

Oven cook time will vary based on thickness of your tri tip and desired doneness. For medium rare in the center remove from the oven at 130 degrees- ends will be more done than the center due to the triangular shape.
Keep in mind when slicing that the grain shifts on this cut, so your slices will need to as well.
