Ingredients

• 1 fully-cooked beef tri-tip roast ( 1 1/2 to 2 lbs.)
• 2 cans (8 oz. each) tropical fruit salad in light syrup
• 1 large orange
• 2-3 tsp. spicy brown mustard
• 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce, or to taste
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper

Instructions

Remove beef tri-tip roast from package; place in microwave-safe dish. Transfer 3-4 Tbsp. liquid from package to small saucepan; set aside. Discard any remaining liquid (or reserve for other use). Cover roast and microwave on HIGH 7-10 minutes (according to package directions). Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, drain fruit salad, reserving 3 Tbsp. of the syrup. Cut up any large pieces of fruit; set aside. Grate 1 tsp. peel from orange; set aside. Cut orange in half. Squeeze juice from half orange; peel and chop orange sections from remaing half.

Combine reserved syrup, orange juice, mustard, orange peel, pepper sauce, salt and pepper, in medium bowl; whisk until blended. Measure 1/4 cup of the orange juice mixture; add to beef liquid in saucepan. Set aside. Add reserved fruit, chopped orange and bell pepper to remaining orange juice mixture in bowl; mix well. Cover and refrigerate.

Carve roast across the grain into thin slices. Bring mixture in saucepan to a boil; remove from heat.

Arrange beef and fruit relish side-by-side on platter. Spoon hot sauce over beef, as desired.

Garnish with orange slices, if desired.
