It was like 3.8 lbs before trimming, but this one required very little trim. The one I stuck in the freezer was also just under 4 lbs but had a lot of hard fat on it that I trimmed off.

Nailed it! You are exactly right. SV can tenderize so good
I don't know why 2lb max Tri tip is largest I can get probably $10/lb. I like these different steak cuts to change it up like the Sirloin cap/Picanha/Coulotte.
Hey Kurt, TT vary a LOT regionally. Many guys cant ever find them where they live. Pretty sure the price varies a lot too.
In Colorado, Kroger and Costco have them almost always, I think east coasters rarely see them. If I couldnt get them at a local store, I would work up an online order through one of the many premium meat sellers. Could also ask the local butcher if they can get some - but that could be the most pricey.
Yes, they have been at Costco marinated that I'm not a member of but butchers are carrying them for 10 years now in central IL. I wish I could have found the western prices at about $4.00/lb before the pandemic but has been steady at $10. I'll just have to bite the bullet and get some.
Around here in MN Hyvee wants like $10.99/lb the "local" butcher (Greg's in Hampton) I've gotten them as low as $6.99/lb. Usually $8.99/lb. Costco Business was about $7.99/lb but you got like five roasts/steaks.
Stayed out of these TT threads as they are rare as hen's teeth up north and beastly expensive as well. Down in Florida the regular grocers are proud of the pricing, too.
Last year I found them at Orlando Costco Business Center for $4/# Problem is the bag is usually 4 of them or around 15# and I had limited freezer space. Purchased a chest freezer to resolve the storage problem.
Took 2 of them to the South Florida gathering as I knew a certain TT expert was planning to be there. When I messaged him where and how much the hook was set.
Thanks Brian

for the preparation education as well as the smoking. Thanks to

for furnishing the smoker space. Next gathering will do a TT on Friday when there is less food to choose from on the table.
