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:

  1. Oil to coat the meat well
  2. Your favorite meat rub. (If you need some suggestions, ask us).
  3. A Tritip or 2, 3 or 4. This varies depending on how many people you’ll be serving. (Again we can help, just ask).
  4. 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 Tritip

Oven Roasting Steps: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Place Tritip on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the center of the roast.
  3. Cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the meat thermometer reads 130 degrees.
  4. 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.

  1. Season the Tritip with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Using a rack if you have it, put the roast into the pot.
  3. Add two cups of beef broth, one medium onion (sliced or diced), a bay leaf and four cloves of garlic.
  4. Close the lid and cook under pressure for 35 minutes.
  5. When cooking stops, carefully release the steam. After all steam has been released, remove the lid and remove Tritip.
  6. Cut in 1/4″ to 1/2″ slices.
