Cooking Underwriter: Tri Tip on a bed of potatoes and onions plus Caramelized Carrots

I love to cook a meal that keeps giving and giving. Take for instance this fabulous Tri Tip on a bed of sliced potatoes and Onions. Its Quick and easy and you get all of the flavoring of the meat caramelizing on top of those potatoes plus if you add carrots 45 minutes prior to meet being completed. You will have some delicious caramelized carrots to eat with your meal like we did. I will still have about half of this meat left which I can make recipes like a New York Steak of mind sandwich which I will substitute the New York Steak with Tri Tip and later in the month a beef hot curry.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
