  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
  • Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, dried rosemary, and fresh rosemary together in a small bowl.
  • Place tri-tip in a baking pan. Season generously with the spice rub until both sides are completely covered.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip meat over halfway.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and let meat rest for 20 minutes. Remove tri-tip to a cutting board and cut into 2 pieces along where the grain changes direction. Slice meat across the grain and transfer to serving plates.
  • Mix beef broth in with the pan drippings and drizzle over the slices.
