Master the art of the mustard-rubbed beef tri-tip roast
In short: Learn how to prepare a flavorful beef tri-tip using a mustard rub and a simple grilling or broiling technique. This guide breaks down the preparation, seasoning, and cooking process for a perfectly cooked roast paired with charred leeks.
The process begins the night before by scoring the fat cap of the tri-tip and applying a heavy coating of mustard, ideally coarse-ground Dijon, alongside your preferred seasonings. This overnight rest allows the flavors to penetrate the meat. For the leeks, ensure they are cleaned thoroughly between layers, then lightly oiled and seasoned.
Cooking can be done via broiler or grill. When grilling, use a two-zone fire to sear the meat before moving it to the cooler side to finish. A 2.5 lb roast typically requires about 30 minutes of total cooking time. Aim for an internal temperature of 125ºF (52ºC) in the thickest section, which results in a medium finish after resting.
