Instructions
- Prep 12 oz Choice Tri-Tip Beef Steaks ($7.99/lb sale) by patting dry and seasoning with salt and pepper from pantry. Trim 1 lb Green Asparagus ($3.99/lb). Cut 3/4 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes ($1.29/lb) into 1-inch pieces. Slice 1/2 medium Jumbo Yellow Onion ($0.99/lb). Mince 2 cloves Garlic ($0.69 each). Measure 8 oz Kroger Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms ($3.29/8 oz) and 1/2 cup Simple Truth Organic Low Sodium Free Range Chicken Broth ($1.79/32 oz sale). Chop 1 tablespoon Parsley ($1.29 each).
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the 3/4 lb Yukon Gold Potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper from pantry on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, add the 1 lb asparagus to the pan with another light drizzle of oil and roast 10 to 12 minutes more until the potatoes are tender and the asparagus is just crisp-tender.
- While the vegetables roast, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon oil. Sear the 12 oz tri-tip steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, depending on thickness. Transfer the steaks to rest on a plate.
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the sliced 1/2 onion and cook 2 minutes. Add the minced 2 cloves garlic and the 8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms. Cook 5 to 6 minutes until browned and their moisture has mostly evaporated.
- Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly reduced. Stir in the chopped 1 tablespoon parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper from pantry.
- Slice the rested tri-tip against the grain. Serve with the mushroom pan sauce, the roasted potatoes, and the asparagus. Pair with Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

Health notes: About 600-700 calories per serving depending on steak portion and oil used. Balanced with protein, green vegetables, and potatoes for satisfying energy. Trim visible fat from the beef if desired.
Drink pairing: Pour a juicy Merlot or a medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon; both have enough structure for the beef while staying friendly with the earthy mushrooms.
