Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Place a rimmed sheet pan inside to preheat.

  3. Roast squash: Carefully pull out hot pan, add squash in a single layer. Roast 10 minutes.
  4. Add green beans: Toss beans with 1 teaspoon olive oil, minced 1 clove garlic, salt, and pepper. Add to the other side of the pan. Roast 12–15 minutes more, until squash is caramelized and beans are tender-crisp.
  5. Make chimichurri: Mix parsley, cilantro, 2 minced garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and several grinds pepper. Adjust vinegar/salt to taste.
  6. Cook steak: Pat tri-tip dry; season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear 3–4 minutes per side to brown. Transfer skillet to oven (or reduce heat and cover on stove) and cook to 130°F for medium-rare, about 5–8 minutes depending on thickness.
  7. Rest and slice: Transfer steak to a board; rest 5–7 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  8. Serve: Spoon chimichurri over steak. Plate with roasted delicata and garlicky green beans.
