Oven Tri Tip
This oven tri tip is incredibly juicy, tender and hearty! A simple dry rub allows the flavor of the steak to shine. This quick and easy recipe has a seared crust and juicy center. Great for family dinners, holidays, birthdays, entertaining, Christmas and more!
First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Season tri tip steak all over with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the skillet.
Once oil is hot, carefully place seasoned steak into the skillet.
Sear for 2 minutes. Then carefully flip over and sear another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place skillet in the oven. Roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 minutes, or 8 minutes per pound. Use meat thermometer to check internal temperature.
Finally, remove from oven. Allow steak to rest on a cutting board or plate for 10 minutes. Then slice against the grain and serve!
My grocery store sells tri tip with the fat trimmed. Tri tip with the fat can be used as well.
If your steak is smaller or larger, adjust amount of spices and cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature of meat.
Rare meat is 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Medium rare is 130 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Medium is 140 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Medium well is 150 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Well done is anything over 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow steak to rest for 10 minutes after roasting. This locks in the juices.
Slice against the grain for best texture.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in skillet, oven or air fryer.
