How To Make The Perfect Tri Tip In The Oven
Tri tip is a cut of beef that is so flavorful and juicy that it doesn't need much seasoning or preparation to make it taste amazing. It's a great choice for an easy weeknight dinner, or a special-occasion meal. In this article, we'll show you how to make the perfect tri tip in the oven.
Ingredients
For this recipe you will need:
- 2-3 pound Tri Tip roast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons of fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place the tri tip roast on a roasting pan or baking sheet.
3. Generously season the roast with salt and pepper.
4. Rub the olive oil over the entire surface of the roast.
5. Scatter the garlic and herbs over the roast.
6. Roast the tri tip in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to roast for an additional 15-20 minutes (or until the internal temperature has reached 135 degrees for medium-rare, or 145 degrees for medium).
8. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice the tri tip against the grain into thin slices.
10. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Tips
For extra flavor, try marinating the tri tip in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and lemon juice for a few hours before roasting. Additionally, you can add a few sprigs of fresh herbs into the roasting pan for extra flavor.
If you want to cook the tri tip in a skillet instead of the oven, you can do so. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Sear the tri tip for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees for medium-rare, or 145 degrees for medium.
Conclusion
Making tri tip in the oven is an easy and foolproof way to get perfect, juicy results every time. All you need is a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time. Serve with your favorite sides and you have a delicious dinner that everyone will love!
