STEP-BY-STEP

• 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F
• 2. Sprinkle the entire roast with seasoning salt or salt, gently rubbing it into the surface.
• 3. On the stove, heat fat or oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-safe skillet. Once oil is hot place tri-tip, fat-side down, in the pan. Cook for 4 minutes, or until well-seared. Flip meat and place pan in the oven.
  
• 4. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes per pound (start checking the internal temp at about 20 minutes for a medium-sized roast). Cook until internal temperature in the thickest part of the meat reads 125°F for medium-rare to 130° for medium.
• 5. Let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• 6. Slice roast against the grain by cutting it in half at the center point and then across the grain on each end and enjoy – see here for video on how to slice TriTip for optimal tenderness
