Mighty nice looking piece of meat. Sides too.
Tri Tip has become rather popular here in Texas in the last several years. H-E-B always has them (HEB is a very well run and superb grocery chain in the Lone Star State, for those not familiar). The issue (and this seems to the issue with EVERYTHING NOW) is not availability, but price!
I know inflation happens periodically for myriad reasons (no political statement hear, just sayin'), and this round seems almost laughable; except the crying gets in the way of laughing.
I say that because, of the many things I love about our great state, is BEEF! Glorious, beautiful, wonderful beef. Ya know, it's what's for dinner. And Lunch. And Breakfast. And late night snacks...
So, I deduce that things must be bad with inflation because I cannot find packer briskets for $1.49/lb anymore. Yes, we could get basic select, full packers for $1.49/LB. Or $1.99 at least. Sometimes choice for $2.99 or even prime on occasion at $3-4 range. Beef grows on trees around these here parts. I hope those days come back; the beef prices at least.
Sorry for the brief rant, but I could eat brisky, TT, steak, well.........beef in general everyday. My clogged heart is breaking.
Oh, and again, nice TT.

, Tritip is a California cut. We are on the eastern slope of Cali. Every grocery store in my town carries it. Some even as a packer totally untrimmed. None over your way?
