Servings: 4
Ingredients
Sicilian Sauce:
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
- 2 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice {juice from 1 lemon}
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Roast:
- 2-3 pound tri-tip beef roast or flank steak
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Sicilian Sauce:
- Blend thyme, garlic, oregano and salt in a processor until garlic is finely chopped. While processor is running add lemon juice and olive oil. Season with pepper to taste. Set aside.
Roast:
- Set out roast at least 30 minutes before you plan on cooking and cut several gashes about 1 inch apart over the entire surface of the meat using a sharp knife, then turn and move the other way to create a crisscross or diamond pattern. Make cuts that are uniform in both length and depth, then sprinkle both sides of roast evenly with salt.
- Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place roast on grill and cook 4 minutes and flip to cook an additional 4 minutes.
- Turn off heat directly under your roast, close grill lid and cook an additional 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your roast.
- Remove from heat and let meat rest at least 10 minutes before thinly slicing and serving with sauce over top.
