Oven Roasted Beef Tri Tip Food

OVEN-ROASTED TRI TIP STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Use a roasting pan with a rack on the bottom.
• Rub the roast liberally with the Santa Maria rub. Place meat in the prepared roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue roasting meat for another 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 125 degrees F (for medium rare). Let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.

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.

HOW TO COOK A TRI-TIP ROAST IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Place the tri-tip roast into a closable plastic bag and set aside.
• Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small dish and pour into the bag with the roast. Press the excess air out of the bag, zip it closed. Massage the meat well, turning within the bag to coat completely with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F, set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• Remove the marinating roast from the plastic bag, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the roast on the wire rack and insert an oven thermometer into the center of the meat. Grind black pepper over the top.
• Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until desired doneness. For medium-rare 135°F, for medium 145°F. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil and rest for 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a cutting board and slice across the grain in thin slices. Place on a platter and serve.

THE BEST BEEF TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, dried rosemary, and fresh rosemary together in a small bowl.
• Place tri-tip in a baking pan. Season generously with the spice rub until both sides are completely covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip meat over halfway.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and let meat rest for 20 minutes. Remove tri-tip to a cutting board and cut into 2 pieces along where the grain changes direction. Slice meat across the grain and transfer to serving plates.
• Mix beef broth in with the pan drippings and drizzle over the slices.

GRILLED OR OVEN-ROASTED SANTA MARIA TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Trim silver skin. The meat may have a thick layer of fat, some of which can be sliced off, but keep a good amount to help baste meat.
• Sprinkle meat with rub and massage lightly all over. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour or as long as overnight. Remove from refrigerator an hour before cooking.
• Prepare charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Place roast on grill and sear one side well, 6 to 8 minutes, checking for flare-ups. Turn the roast and sear other side for about the same time. Then lower gas to medium-high or move the meat to a cooler part of the charcoal grill.
• Turn meat again and cook another 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook again. A 2-pound roast will require about 20 to 25 minutes total cooking time. The roast is ready when an instant-read thermometer reaches 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
• Rest roast on a cutting board 10 to 20 minutes. Slice against the grain. The roast is shaped like a boomerang, so either cut it in half at the center of the angle, or slice against the grain on one side, turn the roast and slice against the grain on the other side.

OVEN-BAKED TERIYAKI TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Stand a large ziplock bag in a bowl. Combine all ingredients except beef in bag. Zip closed and shake well to dissolve the sugar. If don't have access to mirin, you can use combine 1/2 cup regular sake with 1 tsp of sugar.
• Add beef to marinade. Chill at least two hours, turning occasionally.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place meat along with marinade into a suitable oven roasting pan (I like Pyrex myself).
• When oven is ready, roast meat for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, cover meat with foil. Lower oven temperature to 350 and roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove foil, and continue roasting for another 15 minutes.
• By this point, the meat should be about medium. Cook up to another 10 minutes longer for medium well to well done.
• Remove roasting pan from oven and re-cover with foil. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Slice across the grain and serve using the marinade as a sauce.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place tri-tip in a shallow roasting pan, preferably on a rack. Remove onions from marinade and place around the beef.
• Roast in the preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium-rare or 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Allow to rest at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

OVEN ROASTED BEEF TRI-TIP

Steps:

• 1. Santa Maria Rub Ingredients 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon dried dill 1/4 teaspoon dried sage 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary 1 (2 1/2 pound) beef tri-tip roast Directions Mix together the salt, garlic salt, celery salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, dill, sage, and rosemary in a bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use. This is enough rub for two tri-tips. Use a damp towel to lightly moisten the roast with water, then pat with the prepared rub on both sides. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to fully come together. If you are going to be cooking the meat right away, let rubbed tri-tip sit at room temperature for two hours. Cook's Tip: This rub is also great on grilled chicken, shrimp and fish. Can be used as a seasoning salt.
• 2. Prepare the Santa Maria Rub and pat it into the meat on both sides, and let it it stand at room temperature for 2 hours if you are cooking it right away. If not, you may leave it in the fridge covered overnight. Just bring it to room temperature before cooking.
• 3. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place tri-tip in a roasting pan with a rack and place in hot oven, and roast to your preference. Check internal temperature after 20 minutes. It should be blood rare. That is too rare for us, so I roasted it for 30 minutes (140 degrees) . Tent the meat loosely while you make the pan sauce. Allow the meat to stand for 15 minutes before carving. Carve by slicing the meat into thin slices across the grain. After roasting 30 minutes, mine was medium rare in the center when I carved it. Perfect when the pan sauce was poured over it. Serve immediately. Makes great sandwiches the next day.
• 4. PAN SAUCE: 1/2 cup beef or chicken stock 1/4 cup red wine 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional: 1 teaspoon of any fresh herbs you may like, such as rosemary, thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried. salt and freshly ground black pepper Use the pan you roasted the meat in (even if it is dry, the flavors are still there) over the burner, add the garlic, stir for 1 minute, add stock, wine, and any herbs. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the sauce slightly, then whisk in the mustard and taste it for salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the sliced meat and serve immediately. NOTE: This is a lean cut of meat which means that sometimes there are no pan drippings, so put a pat of butter in the pan, add the wine and the rest of the ingredients. It will still pick up the flavor.
