Instructions
Marinating the Steak
- Combine all the seasonings: basil, peppers, garlic, cayenne, salt, and sugar in a small bowl and mix together.
- Then rub the spice mixture all over the tri-tip steak. Place the steak into a large zip lock bag and add ¼ cup of olive oil. Seal the bag and massage the oil and the seasoning into the meat for about 1 minute.
- Leaving the steak in the bag, place the steak in the fridge. At a minimum you want the steak to soak in the marinade for 1 full hour, flipping in the bag and giving another little massage half way thru.
- But the longer you marinate, the more flavor the tri-tip will have. You can allow the steak to marinate up to 3 days.
Cooking the Steak
- Pre-heat oven to 400'°, and heat a large stove top pan to medium high heat. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and a wire rack to raise the steak off the pan.
- Once the pan is hot add the tri-tip to the pan, fat side down and allow to sear for 3-4 minutes, until a brown crust has developed. Then flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side.
- Move the steak to the prepared baking sheet with wire rack. Place in the oven and cook at 400'° for 12 minutes per pound. The perfect temp on this steak is 135'° - 140'°.
- Once the steak is done, wrap it in the tin foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garlic Hummus Spread
- While the steak is cooking: Add chicken peas, garlic cloves, and oil to a blender or food processor.
- Blend these ingredients adding up to 3 tablespoons of water as needed to get the creamy consistency you are looking for.
- Once this spread is done, set it aside and begin preparing the Mediterranean mix.
Mediterranean Mix
- Slice your cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and red onions.
Assembling your Bowls
- Start by adding your hummus to the bowl, then circle your cucumbers around one side of the hummus.
- Add a little pile of sliced tomatoes on the side of the cucumbers. Then add a dollop of yogurt next to the hummus.
- Once the steak has rested for 10 minutes, slice the steak and fan out slices into each bowl.
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and sliced olives, then top with shaved red onions. Finish with a dash of salt!
- Serve and enjoy!
