The Best Beef Tri Tip - Roast Beef - Food Wishes

Ingredients

• 2.5 pound Beef Tri‑Tip (fully trimmed, bone‑less)
• 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt (coarse)
• 1 tablespoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika (adds smoky flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional for heat)
• 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary (crushed)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary Leaves (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Beef Broth (low‑sodium, for deglazing)

Instructions

1. Make the Dry Rub

   In a mixing bowl combine kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, dried rosemary, and fresh chopped rosemary. Stir until evenly mixed.

   Time: PT5M

2. Season the Tri‑Tip

   Pat the tri‑tip dry with paper towels. Generously coat both sides with the dry rub, pressing any excess into the edges and crevices.

   Time: PT3M

3. Preheat the Oven

   Set the oven to 225°F (107°C) and allow it to preheat.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 225°F

4. Roast the Beef

   Place the seasoned tri‑tip in the center of a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part. Roast for about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium‑rare.

   Time: PT1H30M

   Temperature: 225°F

5. Rest the Roast

   Remove the tri‑tip from the oven, loosely cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute.

   Time: PT20M

6. Deglaze the Pan

   Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add ½ cup beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 3–4 minutes to create a light jus.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

7. Slice Against the Grain

   Transfer the rested tri‑tip to a cutting board. Identify the two grain directions and cut the meat into ¼‑inch slices across the grain, starting with the smaller tail piece then the larger section.

   Time: PT5M

8. Serve

   Arrange sliced beef on a platter, drizzle with the pan jus, and serve alongside a chilled Roma bean salad or crusty rolls with horseradish mayo if desired.

   Time: PT2M
