Tri-tip Roast (~1.75-3 lb. pk) – Premium, Pasture-raised

Description

THE CUT

The tri-tip roast comes from the bottom of the sirloin. It’s a lean but well-marbled roast cut that is a great alternative for someone seeking a roast that is leaner than a chuck roast.

PREPARATION

Pat roast dry after removing from packaging, heavily season roast on both sides with salt, and place on a rack set inside a rimmed sheet pan. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 24.

Pull the roast on the rack and sheet pan from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about one hour.

Heat oven to 200ºF and place the roast, still on a rack and sheet pan, in the oven. Periodically insert a thermometer into the thickest section of the roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 120ºF (possibly 75-120 minutes depending very much on thickness and weight). When roast has almost reached the appropriate temperature, place a cast iron skillet over high heat until it reaches at least 600ºF.

Remove roast from the oven and place it near your hot cast iron skillet. Add butter to your hot skillet and allow it to melt. Add roast to the hot skillet with melted, browning butter and sear on each side, including the narrow edges, for about 45 seconds.

Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. Slice your roast on a bias and across the grain for the most tender bite.

(If you wish for your roast to be more cooked or less cooked, adjust the time you have your roast in the oven by pulling it from the oven at a temperature 5-10 below your final target temperature).
