THE BEST BEEF TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, dried rosemary, and fresh rosemary together in a small bowl.
• Place tri-tip in a baking pan. Season generously with the spice rub until both sides are completely covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip meat over halfway.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and let meat rest for 20 minutes. Remove tri-tip to a cutting board and cut into 2 pieces along where the grain changes direction. Slice meat across the grain and transfer to serving plates.
• Mix beef broth in with the pan drippings and drizzle over the slices.

TRICK-OR-TREAT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. To minimize cracking, place shallow pan half full of hot water on lower oven rack.
• In medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs, sugar and butter. Press on bottom of pan. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Stir in vanilla and candy. Pour over crust.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until edge of cheesecake is set at least 2 inches from edge of pan but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved. Run small metal spatula around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Turn oven off; open door at least 4 inches. Let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, run small metal spatula around edge of pan; carefully remove side of pan. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

TRI-TIP DIP

Steps:

• Combine the butter with the garlic and brush on the inside of the ciabatta rolls. Toast the rolls on a grill, or broil in the oven until crispy. Smear with Horseradish Mayonnaise.
• Dip the tri-tip slices into the hot Jus for 45 seconds to warm. Pile the meat onto the bottoms of the rolls and top with cheese if using. Close the sandwiches, slice in half and serve with extra Jus on the side for dipping.
• Combine the sour cream, horseradish, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute the shallots and garlic in the butter and olive oil until lightly caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the flour and mix together to form a loose paste (roux). Deglaze with the brandy and whisk in the beef stock, demi-glace and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the aroma and flavor of the jus are rich and deep, 25 minutes. Strain the broth to remove the garlic and shallots, then return the liquid to the pot. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
