The problem with diy butchery

[Hockeydudde]

This package was labeled "tri-tip". Great, one of my favorites.
Open the package and there are 2 pieces of meat in there... And neither are particularly triangular shaped.

Was it mis-labeled?
Was it accidentally cut into two pieces and still packaged together?
Were we in the 3rd or 13th beer?
These questions will forever remain mysteries.
Planning to smoke then sear on the kettle.

Uh….yeah. Not sure about that one. But I bet it will still eat good!

On rare occasions, the butcher in our local grocer will cut TT into strips or pieces. I'm not sure why but at least they label it as such. We don't get TT enough for me to be able to tell if that is in fact a TT but it sort of does look like one.

Whatever it was, it was indeed good. Pretty sure it was the two correct muscle groups, split at the seam. They cooked pretty evenly.
Enjoyed with roasted corn and spring onions from our garden.

Oh man that turned into a gorgeous meal! Was that meat plate just for you? Cause I'd make it disappear!!

It could be a ball tip roast. They are a neighbor to the tri-tip but are leaner with less surface fat.
