Cranberry Glazed Tri-Tip Roast Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by seasoning a tri-tip roast with coarse sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil, then letting it rest for at least one hour to 24 hours for seasoning penetration. The roast can be cooked by stovetop smoking using green tea, white rice, and oak chips or by traditional roasting. Both methods finish in a 400°F oven until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Meanwhile, the glaze is prepared by cooking fresh cranberries with orange juice and sugar until the berries burst, creating a syrup base. This mixture is blended until smooth, then combined with Chambord, orange zest, black pepper, nutmeg, and cranberry juice, and strained through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids. Reheating thickens the glaze for coating the roast.
The result is a juicy, flavorful roast with a vibrant, spiced cranberry glaze that provides sweet and tangy notes complementing the savory, smoky meat. This dish works well for special meals featuring a balance of smoke, spice, and fruitiness.
Ingredients
Roast:
- 3 lb tri-tip roast or other sirloin roast
- 3 tablespoon sea salt coarse
- 3 tablespoons black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
If Smoking:
- 2 tablespoons green tea
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 1 1/2 cups oak smoking chips finely chopped
Cranberry Glaze:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 cups sugar
- 12 ounces cranberries fresh
- 1 cup Chambord
- orange zest
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup cranberry juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Rub roast with olive oil and then massage with salt and pepper. Allow to sit for 1 hour to 24 hours before smoking or roasting.
- If smoking, place green tea, rice and wood chips in the bottom of smoker, heat over high until it starts to smoke. Add roast and smoke on stove top for 15 minutes before transferring to a 400 degree oven. If roasting, place roast in a large roasting pan in a 400 degree oven. Both ways, roast for 40-45 minutes or until roast registers 135 degrees.
- Meanwhile, place orange juice through cranberries in a large sauce pan. Heat and stir over medium-high heat until cranberries burst open and mixture starts to make a syrup.
- Remove from heat and place mixture in a blender or food processor and blend on high until mixture is smooth. Add Chambord through nutmeg and blend again.
- Run mixture through fine mesh sieve to remove any solids. Return mixture to sauce pan and medium-high heat. Add cranberry juice and reduce by half.
- When tri-tip is done roasting, heat grill to high heat. Baste with cranberry glaze and char on each side for 2-3 minutes.
- Slice against the grain and serve with a side of cranberry glaze.
