Step 1

Prepare the rub. In a bowl, combine the chili powder, ground coffee, garlic powder, kosher salt, ground black pepper, brown sugar, smoked paprika, dried thyme and cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Generously rub the tri tip steak and place on a sheet pan topped with a wire rack and refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Remove the tri tip from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. While the steak is coming to room temperature, preheat the oven to 225°F with the rack positioned in the center.
