Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC) if using an oven-safe Dutch oven, or prepare a large stovetop-safe skillet with a lid.
-
Pat the tri-tip roast dry with paper towels and season liberally with salt and pepper on all sides.
-
Heat shortening or peanut oil in a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
-
Sear the tri-tip roast in the hot fat, browning on all sides until a deep mahogany crust forms.
-
Add the parboiled carrots and potatoes to the pan around the meat.
-
Sprinkle the rosemary, additional salt, and pepper over the vegetables and meat.
-
Add the sliced onions and 3/4 cup of water to the pan.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
-
Check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the roast; continue cooking for another 5-15 minutes until medium-rare (130-135ðF internal temp).
-
Remove the roast and vegetables from the pan and transfer to a platter. Tent the meat with foil to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
For gravy: Place the pan back over medium heat. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the pan drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth.
-
Slowly whisk in 2 cups of water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
-
Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
-
Serve the sliced tri-tip and vegetables hot, accompanied by the rich pan gravy.

Note
Resting the Meat: It is crucial to let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the roast remains tender and juicy when sliced. The meat will continue to cook slightly during this resting period.
Vegetable Prep: Parboiling the carrots and potatoes beforehand ensures they cook evenly with the meat without becoming mushy. Boil them in salted water for about 5-7 minutes until just tender-crisp, then drain well before adding to the pan.
Doneness Guide: For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135ðF (54-57ðC). Tri-tip is best served medium-rare to medium; overcooking can make it tough. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Gravy Variations: If you prefer a gluten-free gravy, substitute the flour with cornstarch (use 1 tablespoon cornstarch per 1/4 cup liquid) or omit the gravy entirely and serve with a simple pan jus.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to prevent the meat from drying out.
