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

[chopsaw]

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.

Nothing wrong about treating yourself now and then . Heck all that cash back enabler income needs to be spent somehow !

IMO totally worth around $10/lb. Ribeyes are $21lb... If you can believe it I paid $5/lb for mine as was on the reduced. $37 not THAT bad. Just found this place and is like 45m from me!

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 .

I cooked tri-tip twice, to 135F, cut against the grain. Used Santa Maria rub. Okay, but it didn't make me want to cook it again.

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

If I get it cheap, it is a versatile meat. I like it cooked brisket style and cured into pastrami more than a rare roast.

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

Spent 4 years there 1981-1984. Shoot. I mixed drink was 6.00 then!
