Tri-Tip, often called California Cut, Bottom Sirloin Tip or Triangle Roast, is a rich and meaty cut. Seared then braised with hearty vegetables, this will be a campfire crowd pleaser. A single Tri-Tip from the grocery store ranges from 1.5-2.5lbs and will typically feed 4-6 people.

Instructions

- Pat Dry the Tri-Tip with Paper Towels and season all sides liberally with salt and pepper
- Heat Shortening or Vegetable Oil in Dutch oven.
- Once Oil is Hot, Brown the Tri-Tip for 2-3 Minutes on all sides to achieve a caramelized exterior
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, season lightly with salt and pepper cooked covered for 35-45 Minutes
