Tri-Tip Easy and Delicious!!


I have seen Tri-Tip before, but I have never cooked it.  Quite frankly it is too expensive, and when you are feeding 8-10 people for dinner, it's just too much.  It was on sale at Costco this week for $2.99, so I decided to try it.  This package was pre-seasoned and marinated, but you could always add seasonings or your favorite marinade if you got one that wasn't already seasoned.
 
 
 

The first thing to do, is take the meat out of the refrigerator about two hours before cooking, and allow it to reach room temperature.  If you don't do this, the outside will cook too fast, and the middle will remain cold.  Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, you want it nice and hot.  Place meat in a roasting pan on a rack.  Reduce heat to 350 and put pan in the oven.  Let it cook for 30 minutes, turn and cook another 10-15 minutes.  Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.  This allows the meat to soak up all of it's delicious juices.  Cut across the grain for maximum tenderness and serve.  We loved it!
