Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. tri-tip steak. approximately 1” thick
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin oil
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary in a small bowl. Rub the salt mixture on all sides of the steak and let sit for about 10 minutes.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron or other heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat. Place steak in the hot skillet. Sear steak on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side.

  3. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking the steaks for another 6-8 minutes, turning once to cook evenly on each side. This will yield medium-rare to medium steaks (internal temperature of 145° – 160°F). Cook for another 2-3 minutes for more well done steaks. (For thinner steaks, reduce cooking time by 3-5 minutes).
  4. Remove steaks from skillet and loosely cover. Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. To serve, cut steaks in thin slices against the grain for more tender results.
