Tri Tip Roast Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender, grind the garlic, oil, salt and black peppercorns to a coarse paste.
• Pat the tri-tip dry with a paper towel and score the fat layer with a sharp knife, cutting through the fat, but not through the meat.
• Place the meat in a sealable plastic bag, scrape in the garlic paste, press out the air and seal tightly. Massage the meat with the garlic paste until it is evenly coated. Set aside at room temperature for at least 1 hour. If you are going to marinate more than 2 hours, refrigerate the meat but remove it 1 hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
• About 1 hour before serving, start a fire on the grill using 1 chimney full of charcoal briquettes, about 50. Put one-fourth pound of oak or hickory chips in a bowl and cover them with water. Place an inverted plate on top of the chips to keep them submerged. When the flames have subsided and the coals are covered with white ash, dump the chimney into a mound on one side of the grill. Drain the wood chips and scatter them across the top of the coals.
• Sear the fat side of the tri-tip, cooking directly over the flames with the grill lid off. This will only take 3 or 4 minutes. Don't worry if there is a little char; that is almost necessary in order to get a good crust. When the fat side is seared, turn the tri-tip and sear the lean side directly over the coals. This will take another 3 or 4 minutes; again, don't worry about a little char.
• When the lean side is seared, move the tri-tip to the cool side of the grill and replace the lid, with the vents open. Cook to the desired doneness, checking the temperature of the meat every 4 or 5 minutes. It will take 20 to 25 minutes for 125 degrees, which is on the rare side of medium-rare, 25 to 30 minutes for 135 degrees (on the medium side). Cooking times will vary according to the type of grill and temperature of the fire.
• Remove the roast to a platter and set aside for 10 minutes to finish cooking and for the juices to settle. Carve the tri-tip fairly thinly (at most one-fourth-inch thick), against the grain and with the knife held at an angle to give wide slices. Spoon the carving juices over the meat.

Steps:

• Toss tri-tip with oil, soy sauce, onion, cumin, garlic, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. Let rest at room temperature while preheating the oven.
• 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.

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.

Steps:

• Marinate tri-tip with dry rub and place on grill. Sear both sides then grill over low heat.

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.

Steps:

• Rub roast all over with thyme, basil, marjoram, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Place meat in a sealable plastic bag, seal the bag, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Pour red wine into bag with meat 4 hours before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Drizzle olive oil all over the bottom of a roasting pan.
• 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 until hot and slightly pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except garlic and rosemary, and blend well.
• 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.

Steps:

• Marinate tri tip roast in above ingredients for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Grill marinated tri tip to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Whisk first 10 ingredients in medium bowl. Using small sharp knife, pierce meat all over.
• 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.
• Grill meat to desired doneness, about 10 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board.
• Tent with foil; let stand 10 minutes. Cut diagonally across grain.

Steps:

• Using a seasoned salt rub (Lawry's), coat your tri tip roast with the salt, creating a seal on the entire surface. Allow this to rest, refrigerated, for 3-4 hours (don't exceed this time by letting it go overnight, for example). Remove about an hour before grilling.
• Set up your charcoal grill for the indirect method, using trays or rails, and it is important to use a grilling rack to prevent grill marks form scoring the roast. I can place two roast at time on one rack. If you place it directly on the grill, you'll need a drip pan, as it will lose liquid. Keep the grill cover on.
• Grill for 20 minutes (covered) and turn once, and check temperature after 40 minutes. My Weber grill has a thermometer, and I keep it between 375-425 during the first half hour.
• If you've achieved a good salt seal, the roast changes shape, expanding within its salt-sealed layer, sometimes like a "pillow." Tri tip roasts are an unattractive looking roast coming out of the cryo-bags, but as the fat melts off, and the smoke and salt do their trick, you end up with some attractice colors, some small burnt edges, and appealing shapes. If you do all six roast for a party of 40, each roast will be different in size and shape and color.
• I remove at 135, and after it rests for 10 minutes, it's ready for slicing. There will be a great deal of liquid, and depending on the roast, easily a 1/2 cup or more. Have a deeply grooved cutting board.
• Pay particular attention to the changing directions of grains with this roast when you're slicing--and this is important for parties, and for guests that want to help. Remember to slice across the "grain" throughout, and keep slices small and thin so that they work well on small sandwiches or rye bread slices. (This is important for nearly every beef roast).
