Brant Lake Canadian Wagyu Tri-Tip Roast
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cups
beef stock
¼ cup + 2 tbsp.
butter
2 tbsp.
flour
8
shallots, sliced
12
cremini mushrooms, washed and sliced
2 shots
bourbon
1 tbsp.
Worcestershire sauce
PRO TIP: Ensure that your meat is thawed properly by placing the frozen beef in the fridge up to 3 days prior to your barbecue session.
- Season the Tri-Tip Roast generously with salt and pepper to taste and leave it on the counter while you preheat the grill.
- Remove some cooking grids and place a drip pan filled with 2 cups of beef stock (you can also use beer, wine, or juice for this) on the sear plates, then replace the cooking grids. Preheat the grill to 225°F preparing to use indirect grilling method. Light one to two burners leaving the rest off, so that there is a space to place the meat where it is not directly over flame.
- Insert the probe of a meat thermometer into the thick part of the Tri-Tip Roast and set the alert to go off at 120°F. Try using Napoleon’s ACCU-PROBE™ Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer for this. Place the roast onto the grill, over the drip pan. Cook for 1½ to 2 hours until an internal temperature of 120°F is reached.
- While the beef is cooking, prep the shallots and mushrooms for the sauce. Melt 2 tbsp. of the butter in a deep-sided saucepan or grill wok and cook the shallots over low heat until they’re lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove the shallots and melt another 2 tbsp. butter, frying the mushrooms until softened and lightly crisped. Remove the mushrooms and set aside as well. Don’t wash the pan – you’ll want any crispy bits for the sauce.
- When the Tri-Tip is 4 or 5 degrees from being done, raise the cooking grid on your Infrared SIZZLE ZONE™ sear station to the up position and preheat it to high. If you don’t have an Infrared burner, turn up one or two main burners to high.
- Sear the Tri-Tip on all sides using direct, high heat. Once a nice crust has formed, remove the roast to a cutting board and rest until you are ready to serve. Using heat resistant BBQ gloves remove the cooking grids and drip pan from the grill.
- While the roast is resting, add the bourbon shots to the saucepan or wok that you used earlier. Light with a match or BBQ lighter. Once the flareup is done, melt the remaining butter, over med-low heat, Add the flour and gently scrape up any of the stuck-on bits from earlier. Slowly add the liquid from the drip pan, the Worcestershire, to create a slightly thick sauce. If you feel that it’s too thin, bring the sauce to a light simmer for a few minutes to reduce. Once you are satisfied with the sauce, add the shallots and mushrooms.
- Slice the Tri-Tip Roast into thin slices against the grain. Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes and your favorite seasonal vegetable. Don’t forget the sauce.
