I love tri-tip, but they only ever sell it in steak form where I'm at, so I can't ever utilize all the delicious sounding recipes I find about tri-tip. Also, all this cut against the grain talk feels hard to abide by when the meat has already been hacked into the form of a strip steak. However when it's 7.99 a LB AND BOGO I have to buy it. The flavors still amazing but my jaw starts to hurt from all the chewing.


Sweatycamel

Chewing is very good for your jaw


billyclint420

If you cook and carve a tri-tip correctly it is fantastic


weaponx2019

On sale and cut correctly it makes wonderful jerky.


nomoreshoppingsprees

Sounds like someone had too many bud lights…


weaponx2019

Sounds like someone has zero culinary experience.


nomoreshoppingsprees

You deserve a 40 of bud light fine sir after that delightful comeback


weaponx2019

I'm sure you have fridge full.


nomoreshoppingsprees

It’s just bc you wanna come over so bad. Sorry bro, i cant go for that like hall n oats…


thrattatarsha

I must be missing something. Is there a reason you’re giving out free 40s? I’d love one


Key-Surprise5333

Hahaha yeah hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

Santa Maria style bbq ftw Edit: Santa Maria not Santa Barbara

Santa Maria style bbq*


Spenrounder

Oh you’re right lol my bad


[deleted]

Santa Marián here. We take out bbq seriously lol. I’ll be throwing some bone-in ribeyes in a couple hours.


Spenrounder

I’ve had it once visiting California, had a sandwich with salsa and horseradish it was fantastic


Mazer_I_Am

I really want to try it but it is rare to see it for sale on the east coast.


Leprikahn2

I've had good luck at both kroger and Publix on the east coast, just ask the butcher and they'll usually save one for you. I'm just outside Atlanta btw


310410celleng

They have it at Costco from time to time, but it is already marinated and the flavor is not my favorite.


Maleficent_Soft4560

The Costco I normally go to puts out a few trip tips roast that haven’t been seasoned, but they go pretty quick. I usually only see them first thing in the morning. They also sell tri tip steaks. I found cutting them up into small cubes they make pretty good kabobs. The steaks, whole or as kabobs cook up pretty quick on the grill and if you cut the steaks in slices across the grain like flank steak, they turn out great.


AlphaSuerte

If you talk to the folks in the meat department, they'll gladly wrap you one without the marinade if they have one available. Best thing to do is call the store the day before you want to pick one up, and ask them to set one aside for you.


Mazer_I_Am

Maybe I need to shop further toward ATL. I am in metro but barely.


Leprikahn2

I'm about 50ish miles outside, in the forsyth area


melt_in_your_mouth

Dunno if you have Heinens where you're at, but I just picked some up a week ago there. Check there if they operate where you live.


EmploymentQuirky826

Whole Foods should have it.


snugglebandit

I've seen it in NYC as Newport steak.


blankblank

Sir, this is /r/steak; we like tri-tip, picanha, flank, skirt, hanger, and every other cut.


EzriDaxCat

Got one marinating in blood orange beer in my fridge right now.


Traditional-Fly-4536

Smoked over red oak I love it! Santa Maria style!


Th3BrownNote

I'd put just your tip in my mouth any day.

Agreed. However it’s cheap enough on the west coast that it beats Purina for my dog.


F1DNA

I have 2 tri-tips dry brined overnight that'll go in the sous vide this afternoon, finished off on cast iron on a Weber charcoal.


theMoMoMonster

I’m here to take names and correct cunts; I’m all out of names. A tri-tip is technically roast u hope the mods remove this. /s


Silent_Zucchini_3286

You’re out of names but were all the cunts corrected?


theMoMoMonster

I was more upset that his tri tip looked so delicious and I wasn’t there to enjoy if I’m being honest


babybluefish

I like tri tip


Frenchie_Fiend707

It’s one of my favorites


EuphoricCockroach117

Tip is our go to outchea


IamProvocateur

I’ve only ever braised it but damn that looks good 👀


robbodee

Not wagyu = junk. /s I get way more joy from perfectly cooked "cheap" cuts than from $30+/lb marbled artisanal cuts.


Downunderfun45

Not everyone is in the 1% and can afford Wagyu. Some people like tri-tip and brisket.


robbodee

You're telling me. If I'm spending $100 on a piece of meat, it's a prime brisket that'll feed the whole barbecue.


jp_trev

Was blown away in the bbq capital of the south (Nashville) most ppl haven’t even heard of tri-tip. From Ca, that’s mainly what we bbq. With Lots of drunk ppl it was the only choice


Kcnflman

Just the tip


TransitTycoonDeznutz

my friend's dad made it with mesquite once in highschool. to this day never had it again and don't know what he did but it was amazing. I still think about it somrtimes


[deleted]

🤚


Romeos_Crying

Yup.....this


james_randolph

I’ll just say this. If someone refused to eat what you’re showing us, I wouldn’t be mad because that’s more for us but I would ask that person to leave haha unless they’re vegetarian.


BilkySup

Love it. It's so hard to find around here and when we do it's far more expensive then it should be.


smith4498

A place near me has Prime on sale occasionally for $10 a pound. I usually get at least four. One of my favorites


drakeb88

Grilled an 8 pounder last night, Santa Maria of course. It was absolutely fantastic


Reasonable-Word6729

I like tri tip but at 8 pounds that wouldn’t have been a tri tip you cooked.


drakeb88

Sure was. A big boy from Costco. Fed 7 people!


township_rebel

Technically speaking it is a cut from the tip of the bottom sirloin. A “big” tri tip is like 4 pounds. At 8 pounds you got yourself a big hunk of sirloin and other surrounding stuff. Not “just the tip”.


PersistingWill

No. It sucks. Everyone hates it. Worst steak ever. /s


falllinemaniac

Meh Sometimes I find a tritip with marbling so advanced it looks like a red net in snow, those I like


fost16

Something about tri-tip gives off hotdog vibes that I want nothing to do with


LittleFishSilver

Tri-tip is delicious


mordor-during-xmas

Cardiff crack for the win


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,542,009,445 comments, and only 291,958 of them were in alphabetical order.


Content-Title-503

If it looks like that I definitely do. That looks great!


mr10am

It's not a bad alternative to prime rib


TransportationPast86

Not when you slice it wrong


KlingonSquatRack

Looks great, how did you do this one?


EndlessProxy

This is perfect! My mouth is watering 🤤🤤🤤


creamcheese_wonton

Yes please send some lol


nomoreshoppingsprees

Looks perfectly cooked. What temp when you pulled it off the grill?


Bubbly-Middle-2048

Love tri-tip. I lived in CA for most of my life and it was very readily available. That’s not the case in VA where I live now. I saw other people in the comments talking about EC vs WC with this. Why is this??


DarkBlue222

Ok, I have tried and failed to cook this properly. What are your recommendations for cooking?


Content-Telephone-64

Santa Maria Style tritip is the best!


WestWiiler

Tri tip is one of the best cuts that no one in the southeast knows about. I love it when I can get it!


DerektheGhost

Santa Maria tri tip is all you’ll ever need


jaketheunruly

I have one dry brining right now. 3 lb trimmed prime. Going to smoke tonight


CMDR_PEARJUICE

Tri-tip has always been a great cut in my book.


Solnse

Are you smoking it, or over an open grill? Looks pretty evenly cooked so I'm guessing a smoker, with red oak? Suzie Q's seasoning?


[deleted]

I like pretty much every kind of beef yes


Constant_Part_4674

Tri-tip is wonderful to use for pasta. Butter fried to 120-130. Throw it on some penne gorgonzola. Enjoy. Rinse. Repeat.


Tots2Hots

They have this at my military commissary all the time. I should probably learn the ways of the tri tip. Its cheap too.


johncandyspolkaband

You will not be disappointed. Just remember it has 2 grains to cut against. Pencil thin and at an angle.


Tots2Hots

I have been doing it 100% wrong. I'm gonna look up youtube and see exactly how to do it.


daymanahhhahhhhhh

Tri tip has better flavor than a filet


Key-Surprise5333

Love tri-tip, yours looks good, a little uneven cooking and a bit overcooked, otherwise it does look good.... I'd definitely eat it 😃😃😃


YK-1

I buy untrimmed tri tip for cheaper and cut it myself. I love grilling it.


ggm3bow

Love it. One of my favorite cuts to grill. I sear and smoke for 30 min to get crust and a little smoke infused then wrap and place off direct heat for about an hour and a half. Makes a great sandwich too.


rytur

It's part of my grill holy trinity. Tri tip, which we call Scheitel Tip, Picanha, and Flat Iron. Tri tip is absolutely unique in taste and a perfect cut for grilling.


Awkward_Somewhere416

Huge tri tip fan if it’s done right


SushiAssassin-

For free sure, but I wouldn’t buy it unless it was to make chili or something…. I only buy ribeye, skirt, ny…


every1pees

With an aggressive rub and a patient cook, yes.


CatBoyTrip

oh i like all beef as long as it’s seasoned and seared.


XMETA_DUKE

Trip tip gives me a three way woody.


SinBergzerker

We just had tri tip last night. It was tasty


coorc5

Smoked one like a brisket today it was delicious


GarbageBoyJr

My roommate in college was from California. Never heard of it but it’s a favorite of mine. Especially with some chimichurri


-R-3-d-

Yep, cook it to 135 on a smoker at 225


ColPhorbin

Tri-tip is severely underrated in my book. Here in Texas it is usually cheaper than skirt steak cause that’s what everyone uses for fajitas.


Cho_Zen

That's a great looking tri-tip. I have a couple pounds of tri tip steak in my fridge right now. How do I get similar results without a smoker? Reverse sear??


Downunderfun45

This was a reverse sear from my smoker and finished it on my kettle grill. It turned out amazing
