Harissa-Crusted Oven Roast with Mint Yogurt

Recipe

Harissa-Crusted Oven Roast with Mint Yogurt

10 min prep

30 min cooking

Serves 6

Difficulty 1/5

Harissa is a North African spice blend with cumin, coriander and garlic accents. It’s perfect to jazz up this roast beef, served with a cool mint yogurt to balance the spices. Store-bought harissa seasoning does vary in heat level, so adjust the amount to suit your taste.

Ingredients

2 tbsp (30 mL) dry harissa seasoning 1 tsp (5 mL) salt ¾ tsp (4 mL) fresh ground pepper 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil 2 lb (1 kg) Beef Bottom Sirloin Tri-Tip Oven Roast

Mint Yogurt

1 cup (250 mL) plain Greek yogurt 2 tbsp (30 mL) finely chopped fresh mint 4 tsp (20 mL) fresh lemon juice 1 clove garlic, minced ¼ tsp (1 mL) EACH salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. Combine harissa seasoning, salt, pepper and oil in a small bowl. Pat roast dry with paper towel. Brush all over with seasoning paste. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer sideways into centre of roast. Oven-sear in preheated 450°F oven for 10 minutes. 2. Reduce heat to 275°F. Roast, uncovered, for about 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare, removing from oven when 5°F (3°C) below desired finished temperature (145°F/63°C for medium-rare, or 160°F/71°C for medium). 3. Transfer to cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. 4. Mint Yogurt: Meanwhile, whisk together yogurt, mint, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. 5. Carve roast across the grain into thin slices, rotating roast as the grain changes direction about halfway along the roast. Serve with Mint Yogurt.

Tip

If you have time, combine the harissa seasoning mixture and let it stand at room temperature for a few hours or overnight to let the flavours bloom.

You can substitute 2-1/2 tbsp (37 mL) harissa paste from a jar for the dry seasoning; decrease the olive oil to 1 tbsp (10 mL).

Bottom Sirloin Tri-Tip is very lean cut, so our recommendation is to cook no more than to medium doneness and to slice thinly.
