Next, prepare the spice mixture by mixing together the the coffee, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chipotle, and cumin in a bowl.

Rub the tri-tip with the spice mixture, then let it rest while you preheat the oven to 350 F.

While the oven is preheating, heat a pan, on the stove, over high heat and add in a few tablespoons of olive oil (or avocado oil). Once the pan is hot, place the tri-tip inside the pan and allow it to cook for about 4 minutes on each side.

If you're using a meat thermometer, place it inside of the tri-tip.

Then, remove the pan from the stove and place it into the oven. I like to cook my tri-tip so it's medium rare, which means it reaches an internal temperature of 135 F. If you aren't using a thermometer, this will take approximately 15-17 minutes.

Once the tri-tip is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it, serving as desired, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to three days.
