Tri-tip........FINALLY!

[forktender]

$75 for a TT? Damn! I get pissed when they are over $20. At least you enjoyed it.

To me the only way to cook them is on the Santa Maria grill. Gotta go to Walmart after I drop off the niece tomorrow. I will add a tri-tip to my list.

Right???
We are spoiled with inexpensive T.T. here in CA for some reason.

Lol I asked for it!

Would have better luck finding Bigfoot around hear than a Tri Tip

 

[chopsaw]

I have these out at the camp.

Nice . I have the flat one ,,,

I noticed the cut on the grain too.

I've only done 1 . Started out good ,

But nobody told me about the turn !

Hey , there's a tri tip on Bigfoot too .

 

[indaswamp]

But nobody told me about the turn !

LOL! Sounds like me the first time I cut a brisket....What the....... I did not know about the turn either! LOL!

 

[jcam222]

Looks good Steve! I've only had it a couple times. There are a couple shops around me that carry it but pretty pricey.

 

[Fueling Around]

Looks good from here.
That Piedmontese meat is something I have yet to experience.

I had an excellent teacher that pointed out the turn. Thanks Brian (@bmudd14474 ).
We (He) did the first 2 together at the 2024 So Fl Gathering.

 

[JLinza]

Looks great Steve. Tri tip is hard to find around here too.

 

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I was going to pick one up at Walmart today (had it on my list) but a nice flap steak got in the way. Next time.

 

[okie sawbones]

Am I the only one who doesn't get the hype over tri-tip?

 

[Steve H]

Am I the only one who doesn't get the hype over tri-tip?

Yup!!! j/k

 

[mneeley490]

Costcos near me have been selling tri-tip for the past year or so. Last I saw, it was $9.99 lb.

 

[okie sawbones]

Yup!!! j/k

 

[chopsaw]

Am I the only one who doesn't get the hype over tri-tip?

I thought that until I had one . I think some of it comes from guys that used to get it for under 2 bucks a pound .
I mean it's good , but ,,,,,
Not for this price .

 

[mneeley490]

First time I tried one a few years ago, I think it was $4.99 lb. Don't think I'd pull the trigger right now.

 

[Steve H]

I just had to get that itch scratched. But, it'll be a looong time before I buy it for 37.00 a pound again. If at all.

 

[KonaRich]

Thanks! I normally. When I find them. Will grill hot and fast. This is the third or forth time I've done them like this. As long as you get a decent sear before putting in the oven. They come out great. I was a bit upset about putting this 75.00 piece of meat in the oven though!

I've always done a low 'n slow smoke at 225 followed by a hot 'n fast sear. Love that smokey flavor in my tri-tip.

Welcome to my world! Quality meat prices here are insane, but then, anyone who retires to a volcanic, earthquake-prone island in the middle of the Pacific is not completely sane. Embrace the horror! :D
