Total Recipe Time: 1 to 1-1/4 hr.
Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS
* 1 beef tri-tip roast (2 lb.)

Rub:
* 1 Tbsp. coarsely crushed mixed peppercorns (black, white, green and pink)
* 2 cloves garlic, minced

Garlic- Sherry Sauce:
* 1/3 c. dry sherry
* 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
* 4 tsp. cornstarch
* 1 can (14 to 14-1/2 oz.) beef broth

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine Rub ingredients; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.
2. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 425°F oven 30 to 40 min. for medium rare; 40 to 45 min. for medium doneness.
3. Remove roast when instant-read thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 min. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)
4. Meanwhile, prepare Sauce. Combine sherry and garlic in small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 to 2 min. or until liquid is reduced by half. Dissolve cornstarch in broth; add to saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and ground black pepper, as desired.
5. Carve half of roast across the grain into thin slices. Serve with half of sauce. Reserve remaining roast and sauce for Beef and Vegetable Cheese Steak Sandwich or Korean-Style Beef and Rice Bowl.
