Tri-Tip Roast prides itself on being the fastest beef roast you could want, ready in just 45 minutes. Also, it prides itself on its delicious simplicity; its herbaceous, rich, savory flavor doesn’t require any elaborate sauces, just a simple, easy-to-make spice rub and a little butter. Essentially, Tri-Tip Roast prides itself on being a roast that tastes like a steak, partially because it is a steak you treat like a roast. Wow, it certainly has a lot to be proud of, and your tastebuds will be sharing in that pride before long!
