Tri-tip

Tri-tip is a very popular dish in our family just because my Uncle Mel bakes it to perfection. His secret: salt and pepper. You'll be surprised how something so simple can turn out to be so scrumptious.

Right out the oven

My dinner plate-Round 1


INGREDIENTS
tri-tip
salt
pepper (I added a little smokehouse pepper, too)
1 pkg sliced mushrooms
3 tbls garlic
2 tbls butter

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides of tri-tip then place on a pyrex and completely cover with foil.
Depending on your oven, bake tri-tip 1 1/2-2 hrs (my oven works wonders pretty quickly so it took only an hr and a half)
While it's baking, saute mushrooms with garlic and butter so when tr-tip is nice, juicy,and tender, combine mushroom saute. (optional)

...and you can thank my Uncle Mel later. ;)
