Grilled Tri-Tip Roast

1 . Stage

Whisk Italian dressing, water, soy sauce, honey, liquid smoke, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add roast, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.

2 . Stage

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove roast from the bag and discard marinade.

3 . Stage

Place roast on the grill and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until desired doneness is reached, 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Allow roast to rest for 15 minutes under tented aluminum foil before cutting.
