3 Ways To Cook A Perfect Tritip Steak/Roast
NOTE: This is a more common cut of beef on the west coast, but we at Don’s Meat Shop love it and keep it in inventory.
1. Grilling
Grilling a Tritip is really pretty easy and takes minimal ingredients to turn out a wonderful meal.
Recommended ingredients are:
- Oil to coat the meat well
- Your favorite meat rub. (If you need some suggestions, ask us).
- A
Tritip or 2, 3 or 4. This varies depending on how many people you’ll be serving. (Again we can help, just ask). - Optional flavored wood for your grill.
We like the video below, although personally I’d start the searing process before 135 degrees. I prefer to be removing mine from the heat at 135 degrees, but this is a personal preference and you can decide what will be best for you.
Also, this video shows a potato bomb recipe. If you’d like just the Tritip portion of the video, start at the 5 minute mark.
2. In the oven
Cooking a Tritip in the oven is easy and gives a very tasty meal.
If you add a meat seasoning, we recommend rubbing the meat with oil first and then adding the seasoning to taste.
High heat roasting is recommended when cooking a
Oven Roasting Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place Tritip on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the center of the roast.
- Cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the meat thermometer reads 130 degrees.
- Remove from oven and cover with tin foil for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to be reabsorbed back into the
Tritip .
3. In a pressure cooker
While this is not my favorite method of preparing a Tritip, if you’re looking for a roast that is fall-apart tender, this is for you.
- Season the Tritip with salt and pepper to taste.
- Using a rack if you have it, put the roast into the pot.
- Add two cups of beef broth, one medium onion (sliced or diced), a bay leaf and four cloves of garlic.
- Close the lid and cook under pressure for 35 minutes.
- When cooking stops, carefully release the steam. After
all steam has been released, remove the lid and removeTritip . - Cut in 1/4″ to 1/2″ slices.
