It makes me sad that my last post was for a Christmas party and it's nearing the end of February already. That's two months of no new cooking that I thought was worthy enough to post. I wish I had more time! But I'm going to try to make cooking a priority again. For dinner I made a tri-tip that I bought pre-marinated and since I had the time I decided to make a sauce for it too. I tried to keep this meal simple but still flavorful.
Ingredients:
Tri-tip (about 3 lbs)
Potatoes
Butter
Milk
Au Jus
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp worchestire sauce
1 cup beef stock
Directions:
1. Pull beef out of fridge to come to room temp and pre heat oven to 350.
2. Place roast on an aluminium foil lined pan and roast until the meat reaches 127.
3. While meat is cooking, peel potatoes and place into cold, salted water. Place over medium heat.
4. Once potatoes are fork tender, drain and mash with milk and butter. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper. Hold potatoes on stove to keep warm.
5. Put a new pan over low heat and add a pat of butter. Add the onions and sweat until they are translucent.
6. Add the red wine, tomato paste, lemon juice, and worchestire and allow to reduce by half.
7. Add the beef stock to the sauce and allow to reduce again. Taste to check for seasoning.
8. When meat is finished allow to rest before slicing. While it rested I added some of the juices from the roast to my sauce.
9. Heat up your potatoes and sauce, slice meat and serve all together!
Nice plating! What kind of marinade was it already in?
