Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pounds tri-tip steak approximately 2” thick
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper finely ground
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary finely chopped, fresh leaves

Instructions

  1. Take the tri-tip cut steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking and let it come to room temperature (this yields more even cooking). Pat the tri-tip steak dry with paper towels. 
  2. Combine olive oil, kosher salt, finely ground black pepper, and chopped rosemary leaves in a small bowl.
  3. Rub each side of the tri-tip steak with the seasoned oil, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Heat the cast-iron skillet or heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the seasoned tri-tip steak into the hot skillet.
  5. Sear the steak for about 4 minutes per side or until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium. For medium-rare steaks (internal temperature of 145° – 160°F), continue cooking for about 15 minutes, turning the steak once to ensure even cooking on both sides. Refer to the internal doneness guide in the notes for the desired doneness (use a meat thermometer).
  6. Once the steak reaches the desired doneness, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board.
  7. Cover the steak loosely with aluminum foil and rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This redistributes the juices, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
  8. Place steaks on a cutting board and cut them into thin slices against the grain for a tender texture.
  9. Serve the delicious cast iron skillet tri-tip steak slices, and enjoy!
