Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn the meat over halfway through.

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and let the meat rest for 20 minutes. Move the tri-tip to a cutting board and cut it into 2 pieces where the grain changes direction. Slice the meat across the grain and place on serving plates.
