Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds tri tip roast
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 shallots sliced
  • 2 rosemary sprigs

TRI TIP RUB

  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Remove the tri tip from refrigerator and allow to come up in temperature about 30 minutes while you prepare other ingredients. 
  • Combine the spices and season the tri tip steak liberally on all sides.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat add avocado oil. Place tri tip in skillet and brown on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Turn heat down to medium and cook tri tip for about 5-7 minutes on each side, flipping every 3-4 mintues.
  • When the meat reaches an internal temperature of 125-126ºF (for medium) add in butter, garlic, shallots and rosemary. With a spoon, spoon the melted butter over the roast as it continues to cook and come up to temperature. 
  • Remove the roast from the pan once it is 5 degrees below your desired doneness, see post above. For this recipe the roast was cooked to 130ºF
  • Allow the roast to rest for at least 10 mintues before slicing against the grain.

Notes

  • Nutrition Facts are just an estimate
  • One of my favorite easy rubs to use is this BEEF RUB from Hey Grill Hey. 
  • Use an oil with a high smoke point, like avocado oil
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
