Consequently,What is the best meat to roast in the oven?

The tenderloin, standing rib, and rib-eye are among the best oven roasts and benefit from the dry heat of roasting, but only if the meat is not overcooked. Cuts from the sirloin, such as the tri-tip or the top sirloin butt roast, are used more often than loin or rib cuts because they are less expensive.

Additionally,What’s the best way to cook a tri tip steak?

A whole tri-tip can be cut into individual steaks before grilling. Sometimes, it is packaged this way in supermarkets, especially in California. Whole tri-tip can be smoked, seared over high heat and then indirect grilled, (with or without smoke, but you know how I’d vote), or spit-roasted.

Because it comes from the tip of the sirloin, there is only one cut of tri-tip per side of beef—so butchers used to think it was a waste to use display space to display a steak they could only offer 1-2 of. Instead, butchers would ground the tri-tip into ground beef for hamburgers, or cut it into small cubes and sell it to customers as stew meat.
