Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tri-tip roast 2-1/2 to 3 lbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper

Method
 

Preparation:
  1. Remove the tri-tip from the refrigerator roughly 30 minutes before cooking.
Cooking the Tri-Tip:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large cast-iron skillet (or other oven-proof pan). Heat pan on high.
  3. Once the pan reaches high heat, add the tri-tip, fat side down. Reduce heat to medium-high and sear roast for about 4 minutes. Turn the tri-tip and put the pan into the preheated oven.
  4. Immediately turn the oven down to 225 °F and cook the roast for 15 minutes per pound, checking with an instant-read thermometer after 30 minutes. Once your roast hits an internal temperature of 120 °F, it’s medium-rare and ready to pull from the oven.
  5. Place your tri-tip on a cutting board and wrap in aluminum foil; let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Remove tri-tip from the foil and slice across the grain. Serve with BBQ sauce or steak sauce, if desired.
