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.
