Quick and Easy Skillet Tri-Tip Steak
Ingredients
- 2 T. extra virgin oil
- 1 T. kosher salt
- 1 t. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 t. garlic powder
- 1 T. fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
- 2 lbs. tri-tip steak approximately 1” thick
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron or other heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat.
- Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary in a small bowl. Rub the salt mixture on all sides of the steak and place in the hot skillet. Sear steak on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking the steaks for another 6-8 minutes, turning once to cook evenly on each side. This will yield medium-rare to medium steaks (internal temperature of 145° – 160°F). Cook for another 2-3 minutes for more well done steaks. (For thinner steaks, reduce cooking time by 3-5 minutes).
- Remove steaks from skillet and loosely cover. Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. To serve, cut steaks in thin slices against the grain for more tender results.
