When it comes to cooking the perfect beef tri tip, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, choose a tri tip that is well-marbled with fat. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking. Second, cook the tri tip over medium-high heat, or over a hot fire if you are grilling. A hot cooking surface will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat, while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Finally, don't overcook the tri tip; medium-rare is the ideal temperature for this cut of meat.

The town of Santa Maria, California, is home to one of America's most delicious barbecue specialties: black-on-the-outside, pink-on-the-inside, grilled beef tri-tip steak. The tri-tip is cut from the bottom sirloin, and if cooked properly produces a very flavorful, extremely juicy piece of beef.

THE BEST BEEF TRI-TIP



The Best Beef Tri-Tip image

I received a food wish for roast beef recently, which can be done with many different cuts. I ended up deciding on beef tri-tip, since it's affordable, flavorful, great for parties, and, using this low-temp roasting technique, nearly fool-proof. No marinating, no searing, no nothing; just rub on some salt and spices and pop it into the oven until it reaches the doneness you want. Plate it up with a Romano bean salad or enjoy as a roast beef sandwich!

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 (2 1/2 pound) beef tri-tip roast
½ cup beef broth

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.

Tips for Cooking the Best Beef Tri-Tip:

  • Choose a high-quality tri-tip roast. Look for a roast that is evenly marbled with fat and has a deep red color.
  • Trim the roast of excess fat. This will help the roast cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Sear the roast in a hot skillet. This will create a flavorful crust and help to lock in the juices.
  • Roast the tri-tip in a preheated oven. The cook time will vary depending on the size of the roast and how you like it cooked.
  • Let the roast rest before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Beef tri-tip is a versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or smoking it, there are a few tips that will help you cook the best beef tri-tip every time.
