Instructions

1. Pat the tri-tip dry, trim any thick surface fat to about 1/4 inch, and mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves into a paste; rub it all over the beef and let it sit at room temperature while you prep the sides.
2. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. While the water heats, make the relish by combining the tomatoes, parsley, remaining minced garlic clove, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
3. Boil the potatoes for 8–10 minutes once the water reaches a boil, until just tender; drain well and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
4. Heat a grill for two-zone cooking, with one hot direct-heat side and one cooler indirect side. Grill the green onions over direct heat for 1–2 minutes per side until charred in spots, then chop and stir them into the tomato relish.
5. Sear the tri-tip over direct heat for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply browned, then move it to indirect heat, cover the grill, and cook 18–28 minutes longer, turning once, until the thickest part reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 135°F for medium.
6. While the beef cooks indirectly, grill the potatoes and asparagus over direct heat, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are crisp-edged and the asparagus is tender and lightly charred, about 6–8 minutes for asparagus and 8–10 minutes for potatoes.
7. Transfer the tri-tip to a cutting board and rest 10 minutes. Slice the roast in two where the grain changes direction, then thinly slice each piece across the grain.
8. Plate sliced tri-tip with the grilled asparagus and potatoes, spoon the tomato-green onion relish over the beef, and reserve the remaining sliced tri-tip for a second preparation or next-day meal.
