Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs tri-tip roast
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Meat thermometer
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Take the tri-tip out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Drizzle the tri-tip with oil and sprinkle it generously with salt, rubbing it all over the meat.
  4. Place the tri-tip in the air fryer basket, ensuring it's not overcrowded.
  5. Close the air fryer and set the timer for 15 minutes.
  6. After 15 minutes, flip the tri-tip to the other side and set the timer for another 10-15 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  7. Once done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.

Notes

Let the meat come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Let the meat rest to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring tenderness. For added flavor, consider marinating the tri-tip beforehand. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
