How to make Marinated Tri-Tip with Chinese Mustard Sauce and Roasted spring onions and Mushrooms

Whisk wine, soy sauce, garlic, and 1 teaspoon dry mustard in large glass baking dish. Add tri-tip and turn to coat with marinade. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, turning meat occasionally.

Arrange spring onions and mushrooms around meat; drizzle onions and mushrooms with olive oil. Roast 12 minutes. Turn meat, onions, and mushrooms over; roast until vegetables are tender and instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of meat registers 52°C for medium-rare, about 12 minutes longer.

Place mushrooms and spring onions on platter. Cut meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices; arrange atop spring onions and mushrooms. Pour any pan juices over. Drizzle lightly with mustard sauce. Serve, passing remaining mustard sauce alongside.
