Cant Find TriTip......

[jcollins]

As said above i cant seem to find a TT ANYWHERE around my neck of the woods. So my question is: Does anyone know of a cut that is popular that will smoke pretty much the same as a TT? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you ask a butcher for it? My guess is there grinding it up or turning it into stew meat or stir fry. Good luck getting some. I don't really care for tenderloin but it's kind of close just not as tasty to me.

Seems like some places call it sirloin tip? I could be wrong...(probably)

The bottom section of Bottom Sirloin is the "tri tip."

I did ask a packing company they said i would have to order it 100# min so i told them to have a nuce day as far as an auctual butcher im not having any luck finding one of those either it seems everyone enjoys walmart meat around here but i do not

You can order it online from Snake River Farms. Buy 2 to save a few dollars and wait until they have free shipping deals which might be going on now.

SRF is expensive, although trying it once won't kill most pockets.  BTW: I've tried their tri-tip, oh baby it was great! If you are somewhat near a Whole Foods you can probably get their meat department to order some in.

In some areas it is super hard to find tri tip, that's because we hog it all here in the PNW! We tried to not let the secret out, but that didn't happen!

Another good option that turns out very close to tri tip is London Broil. Give it a try.

Here is my "London smoke". It was labeled London broil and I bought it because no one here has tri-tip either. Turned out awesome! I would venture to say that any tender, long course grain meat like this would do alright but then again that was my first beef smoke.

my favorite run for beef is Salt, pepper and garlic. Let the meat shine! 50/50 mix of cherry and pecan, Golden!!!!!

First , where are you? You could find a butcher that will befriend you and ssho him the chart above... You may find a gold mine.

 

[sfprankster]

If you find a good butcher, just remember to bring him/her some smoked meat samples to bribe.....errrr....I mean coax them to stock more tri tips or whatever cuts you are looking for.
