Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 1 hour + standing

Yield: 6 Servings

30 60 90

Ingredients

2 tablespoons each whole black and pink peppercorns or 1/4 cup whole black peppercorns
3 dried chipotle chilies, stems removed
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried orange peel
3 tablespoons steak sauce
1 beef tri-tip roast (2 to 3 pounds)
ONIONS:
4 large onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chardonnay or other white wine
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

Place the peppercorns, chilies and coriander in a blender. Cover and process until coarsely ground. Stir in the onion, thyme, salt and orange peel.
Rub steak sauce and seasoning mixture over roast; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook onions in oil over low heat for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until liquid is evaporated. Stir in the thyme, pepper and salt.
Transfer meat to a warm serving platter. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with onions. Yield: 6 servings.
