Mexican Tri Tip Roast Food

BRAISED TRI-TIP ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the roast lightly with salt and pepper. Put the roast fat-side down in the pot. Cook until the bottom is browned, about 3 minutes, then carefully flip the roast to brown on the other side, an additional 3 minutes. Remove the meat to a plate.
• Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot. Add the onions and stir periodically until they soften and start to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion soup mix, thyme, bay leaves and 2 cups water. Add the meat with all its juices back to the pot. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover, transfer the pot to the oven and cook until the meat is very tender but still sliceable, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves from the braising liquid and skim off any excess fat. Slice the meat across the grain into slices 1/2 to 1 inch thick, spoon the braising liquid over and serve hot.

BARBECUE TRI-TIP MARINADE

Steps:

• Place the roast in a zip-lock bag, pour in the soy sauce and the beer and add the whole, peeled garlic cloves. Marinate in the fridge from two hours to overnight - turning occasionally.
• Barbecue the roast to desired wellness, cut against the grain and serve with flour tortillas, shredded cheese and your favorite salsa.
• Simple and delicious.

TRI-TIP ROAST (((DELICIOUS)))

• Place roast in an oven-proof baking dish.
• Cover roast with the marinade and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning and basting a few times, ending with the fat side down.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Sprinkle the garlic powder and crushed rosemary over the top of the roast.
• Puncture the roast with a fork all over the top, and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 135 degrees for medium-rare.
• Remove from oven and allow to rest about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carve against the grain and serve, using the juices as a gravy.

GRILLED TRI-TIP ROAST WITH TEQUILA MARINADE

• Place meat in large resealable plastic bag; add marinade. Seal bag. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, turning plastic bag occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove meat from marinade. Discard marinade.

TRI-TIP ENCHILADA ROAST OR TACOS

Steps:

• Wash tri-tip off and put in crock-pot.
• Pour enchilada sauce and salsa in crock-pot.
• Cook until meat shreds apart, usually depends on size of tri-tip if medium 7-8 hours or depends on your crock-pot. I keep the setting on high for 6 hours and then simmer for 2 hours.

SHREDDED TRI-TIP FOR TACOS IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Season the tri-tip roast with garlic pepper seasoning on both sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and sear the roast on all sides until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Place the tri-tip roast into the slow cooker, fatty side up.
• Cook and stir the garlic and onions in the hot skillet until golden brown, about 10 minutes, and season with the ancho chile pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Place seasoned garlic and onions over the roast in the cooker, and pour in the white wine and crushed tomatoes. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until tender, about 8 hours.
• Remove roast from the cooker, and cut off the fatty layer with a sharp knife (tender meat should cut easily). Place the roast back into the cooker, and shred meat with two forks. If desired, remove some of the liquid from the meat. Stir in cilantro and serve.
