Grilled sliced tri-tip steak over a salad of potatoes and greens on a white dinner plate

Grilled Tri-Tip & Potato Salad

roasted garlic, garlic vinaigrette, pecorino

STARS

Tri-tip is a popular cut of meat, and for good reason. Not only is the beef full of flavor, but it's extremely lean. Grill and serve yours over mixed greens tossed with crispy garlic chips, roasted potato rounds, fresh chives, and Pecorino-Romano before dressing the salad in garlic vinaigrette. Who says that meat and potatoes are a boring dinner?

Ingredients

Garlic Vinaigrette

  • 1 garlic head
  • 1/4 cup grated pecorino cheese
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Potato Salad

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped

Steak

  • 4 6-ounce tri-tip steaks
  • Salt and pepper

Salad

  • 6 cups spring mix
  • Shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese, for serving
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives
  • 1/4 cup garlic chips
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the garlic in tin foil, drizzle with olive oil, and roast until very tender and fragrant, about 20 minutes. 
2
Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and salt. Roast until crisp, 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with the parsley.
3
Transfer the roasted garlic cloves to a blender and purée with the pecorino, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste.
4
Preheat a grill pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side to sear, then lower the heat to medium and cook until an instant-read thermometer reaches 130°F for rare, 140°F for medium rare and 145°F for medium done. Rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
5
Toss the spring mix, roasted potatoes, chives, garlic chips and garlic vinaigrette in a large bowl. Serve alongside steaks.
