The tri tip is a triangular muscle that lies near the hip, with a fat cap and a thick grain.
Tri-tip can be cooked in a number of ways - it is well suited for smoking, grilling, oven roasting or a low and slow braise. Whatever your method - expect robust beef flavor.
We recommend that you prepare your Tri Tip to a medium or medium rare doneness.
Keep tabs on the temp with an instant read thermometer and be sure to let your roast rest before slicing. Tri Tip has a thicker grain than other cuts so be sure to cut across the grain for the tenderest bite.
Each Red House Ranch tri tip weighs about two pounds which is enough to feed four to six people.
