I used a 2 lb tri-tip roast which was plenty for our family of 3. After patting the meat dry, I rubbed the meat with olive oil & salt & pepper, then rolled it in a panko crusted blend. Seared in a cast iron pan and went straight into the oven at 375 degrees for 25 minutes for 'Medium'. I accidentally used an entire 6 oz can of tomato paste for the sauce, but it turned out just fine. It was delicious and looked beautiful - served with French bread, potatoes and green salad. Will definitely try the correct tomato paste measurement next time, with quartered mushrooms as suggested by others. Don't forget to let the meat rest so the juices can redistribute! Awesome recipe!!!

I was looking for something that could come close to Subway's Broccoli & Cheese soup, but this recipe was far superior and beat all of my expectations. Cut down the serving size for our small family of 3, and followed instructions to the letter. Awesome recipe - thank you!
