Roast Recipe + Oven-Roasted Tri-Tip

We all know tri-tips are made for grilling, but weather and life don't always permit outdoor cooking. So here's a plan B that gets an A in our house.

Ingredients

• 1 (2 pound) beef tri-tip roast
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 onion, cut into wedges
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Toss tri-tip with oil, soy sauce, onion, cumin, garlic, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. Let rest at room temperature while preheating the oven.
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3. Place tri-tip in a shallow roasting pan, preferably on a rack. Remove onions from marinade and place around the beef.
4. Roast in the preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium-rare or 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium, 30 to 45 minutes.
5. Allow to rest at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
