Oven-Roasted Tri-Tip with Balsamic Mushroom–Onion Pan Sauce + Roasted Broccoli

A hearty, sale-friendly tri-tip dinner with lots of mushrooms: tri-tip is roasted then sliced, and you make a quick stovetop mushroom–onion pan sauce with balsamic and butter. Served with roasted broccoli (winter-suitable, widely available) and optional Yukon Golds if you want a starch.

Ingredients

  • Beef Choice Angus Tri Tip Roast (1 Roast) ~1.25 lb (enough for 2 with leftovers) OR 1 lb for exact portions $13.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Whole White Mushrooms, 8 oz (or Baby Bella) 1 (8 oz) $3.79
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onion 1/2 medium, sliced $2.19/lb
  • Broccoli Crown ~1 lb (1 large crown) $2.99/lb
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced
  • Olive oil 2–3 tbsp
  • Balsamic vinegar 1–2 tbsp
  • Butter 1 tbsp
  • Dried thyme or rosemary 1 tsp
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Organic Yukon Gold Potatoes ~1 lb, roasted alongside broccoli $4.99 (3 lb bag)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Pat tri-tip dry. Season all over with salt, pepper, and thyme/rosemary. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
  2. Roast broccoli (and optional potatoes): Cut broccoli into florets (and potatoes into chunks if using). Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper. Spread on a sheet pan; roast 18–25 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.
  3. Cook tri-tip: Place tri-tip on a separate pan or in a roasting dish. Roast 20–30 minutes (depending on thickness) until 130–135°F for medium-rare. Rest 10 minutes before slicing (carryover will raise temp).
  4. Mushroom pan sauce (stove): While meat rests, heat a skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add mushrooms and onions; cook 8–10 minutes until deeply browned. Add garlic 30 seconds. Add balsamic + 2–3 tbsp water (or broth/wine if you have) and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 1–2 minutes. Swirl in butter; taste and adjust salt/pepper.
  5. Serve: Slice tri-tip against the grain. Spoon mushroom sauce over the top and serve with roasted broccoli (and potatoes if using).

Health notes: High protein; mushrooms add volume with low calories. Keep butter to 1 tbsp for a lighter sauce.

Drink pairing: WA Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah.

Sheet-Pan Maple–Mustard Steelhead + Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Fuji Apple–Cabbage Slaw

A bright, wintery sheet-pan dinner: steelhead roasts quickly alongside Brussels sprouts, then gets finished with a maple–mustard glaze and a crunchy apple-cabbage slaw. This avoids the beet/citrus steelhead dish you had recently (no beets, no citrus-forward profile, different sides and sauce).

Ingredients

  • Fresh Steelhead Trout Fillet 1 lb (2 portions) $11.99 sale (reg $13.99)
  • Kroger® Brussels Sprouts BIG DEAL! (24 oz) or Brussels Sprouts Halves (12 oz) ~1 lb total $6.00 (24 oz) or $3.99 (12 oz)
  • Organic Green Cabbage or Organic Red Cabbage ~1/2 small head (about 3–4 cups shredded) $2.49/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Fuji Apples – 2 lb bag 1 apple, thin-sliced or julienned $4.99
  • Organic Jumbo Yellow Onion (optional) 1/4 onion, very thin-sliced (slaw) $2.19/lb
  • Dijon mustard 2 tbsp
  • Maple syrup 1–1 1/2 tbsp
  • Apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp
  • Olive oil 2–3 tbsp
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh dill (if you have) 1 tbsp chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
  2. Roast sprouts: Halve Brussels sprouts if whole. Toss with 1–1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper. Roast 12 minutes.
  3. Add steelhead: Push sprouts to the sides. Place steelhead in the center, skin-side down if it has skin. Season with salt and pepper. Roast 8–12 minutes more, until the thickest part flakes easily and the sprouts are browned.
  4. Make glaze: Stir Dijon + maple + 1 tbsp vinegar. Brush over steelhead for the last 2 minutes of roasting (or brush right after it comes out for a punchier flavor).
  5. Make slaw: Shred cabbage; toss with sliced apple and a little onion. Dress with 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp vinegar + salt/pepper (and dill if using).
  6. Serve: Plate steelhead with roasted sprouts and crunchy apple slaw.

Health notes: High protein + omega-3s; lots of fiber from sprouts/cabbage. Keep maple modest if watching sugar.

Drink pairing: WA Chardonnay (unoaked) or a crisp pilsner.
