HI, I'm in!

Hoping for a good result.

Looking rock solid Hawg, gonna be gooooood! From what I've seen on SMF the price looks about middle of the road, seems to vary quite a bit across the country. Be watching. RAY

Thank you Ray!

 

[Hawging It]

Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure it will be worthy of a cowbell!

Hahaha! I sure hope so. Thank you!

 

[Hawging It]

I hope I didn't forget anyone but I Thank you all for your kind words and support on this one.

As was said earlier tri tip is generally on sale around $3.99 here in So Cal. That would be choice grade. I love mine smoked. I’ve never seared one but you will not be disappointed. You are well versed in the method and that’s a great piece of meat to work with. Enjoy that beef. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Is this a decent price? I have no idea.

Should trim some fat? Would probably be good on there if grilling?

Looks great to me Hawg! I’m a recent tri-tip convert.

I’m on the high end of the spectrum for tri-tip prices. $13.50/lb for readily available tri-tip. I could get it cheaper if I ordered a case through a butcher.

As for $7.99/lb? I would gladly pay that if it’s available to me at that price. I look at it this way, since it’s just my wife and I, a $16 tri-tip is basically $8 a plate for us...If we do a vegetable, potato and/or grain we’re still under $10 a plate....MUCH cheaper than if we went out to a restaurant and most likely better too!

$13.50/lb?....they could keep it.

Sorry for all the early morning numbers. Math makes my head hurt.

Point for sure

Thank you sir! I was thinking the same thing. I haven't looked around for tri-tip because this butcher always has top quality beef. We spent less than what center cut filets would have cost and in our view the tri-tip was more tender, juicy and flavorful than the filets we buy there. I'm glad they are readily available at my local butcher.

Thank you Chris. Grilling like a normal steak was the ticket. We are sold on the Tri-Tip.
