Instructions
- Prep 1 lb Choice Tri-Tip Beef Steaks Family Pack ($6.99/lb) by patting dry and seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Trim the woody ends from 1 lb Green Asparagus ($3.99/lb). Halve or quarter 1 lb Kroger Gold Potatoes ($3.99 for 5 lb bag). Thinly slice 1/2 large Jumbo Red Onion ($1.09/lb). Mince 2 cloves Garlic ($0.69). Cut 1 Fresh Organic Lemon ($1.29) into wedges.
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the 1 lb Kroger Gold Potatoes and sliced 1/2 large Jumbo Red Onion with oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast 30 to 35 minutes, turning once, until crisp at the edges and tender inside.
- When the potatoes have about 12 minutes left, add the 1 lb Green Asparagus to one side of the sheet pan. Toss the asparagus with a little oil, salt, and pepper, then return the pan to the oven to roast until tender and lightly blistered.
- While the vegetables roast, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon oil. Add the 1 lb seasoned tri-tip steaks and sear 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until medium-rare to medium. In the last minute, add the minced 2 cloves Garlic and spoon the garlicky oil over the steaks.
- Transfer the 1 lb tri-tip steaks to a cutting board and rest 5 to 10 minutes. Squeeze one lemon wedge over the roasted asparagus and another lightly over the sliced steak if desired.
- Slice the rested 1 lb tri-tip against the grain and serve with the roasted 1 lb potatoes, 1/2 large red onion, and 1 lb asparagus.
- Wine pairing: pour Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
Cook time: 50 minutes
Estimated cost: $15-19
Health notes: About 650-760 calories per serving. High in protein and iron, with fiber from asparagus and potatoes. To keep the meal lighter, trim visible fat and use a moderate amount of oil for roasting.
Drink pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic choice for beef and roasted vegetables, especially with the char from the pan and oven. If you want something a little lighter but still red-fruited and savory, Merlot works very well.
