Notes
How To Cook Tri-Tip In The Oven
Let the tri-tip sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and season it with kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet (oven-safe) over medium heat and then sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the skillet to a 375 degrees F oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes (for medium-rare) or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For this recipe, I cooled the tri-tip until it reached 135°F, which is medium-rare.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak and enjoy!
