So it worked out pretty well with the Tri-Tip. I made a rub with a little garlic powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper - let it sit for 12 hours and then pan seared in some olive oil and butter, with some springs of oregano for about 90 seconds to a minute each side - I then jammed it in the oven at 190c for 10 minutes - by the end it was pretty much a perfect medium rare and pretty decently tender for such a lean cut of meat...
