CAMPFIRE TRI-TIP BEEF ROAST

Preparation Time: 10 minutesCooking Time: 1 hour

Tri-tip, a meaty and flavorful yet less fatty cut of beef, is a fantastic option for a campfire roast. Our recipe calls for a quick sear to lock in the juices then braised with flavorful aromatic herbs. Fortified with potatoes, carrots and onions, this recipe is sure to fill you up.

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.

  5. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, season lightly with salt and pepper cooked covered for 35-45 Minutes
