Ingredients
3 pound tri tip
2 tablespoons avocado oil
Fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Steak seasoning:
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a small bowl, combine the steak seasoning together.
- Trim any excess fat off the tri tip if desired and then pat the roast dry with a paper towel.
- Rub the roast all over with the steak seasoning.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet on the stove top over high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil and sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and a crisp crust forms.
- Transfer the hot cast iron skillet with the tri tip to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes per pound depending on desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to gauge how cooked the meat is. For medium rare, remove from the oven at 125℉ when the thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat. The temperature will continue to rise a little as the meat rests.
- Once it reaches the desired internal temperature, remove from the oven and loosely tent with foil. Allow the roast to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute back into the meat.
- Transfer the tri tip to a cutting board and then slice against the grain.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with a side of potatoes and a vegetable. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage instructions:
Once it has cooled completely you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Reheating instructions:
For a whole roast reheat it wrapped in foil on a baking sheet in a preheated 250° oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
For sliced tri-tip beef reheat by placing the slices in a single layer in a baking dish covered in foil in a 250° oven for 20 to 25 minutes. You can add water or beef broth to the dish to help keep the slices moist.
Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
For smaller sliced beef amounts you can reheat on the stove in a pan with a bit of water or broth over a medium-low heat with a lid on for a few minutes until heated through.
Reheat a single slice on a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water or broth using 30 second intervals until heated through.
