Wagyu Coulotte steaks

[myownidaho]

Just one picture. I grilled a couple of SRF Wagyu Coulottes tonight and they were delightful. Just some S&P. Grilled veggies, and red beans and rice on the side. A local Imperial Stout rounded it out nicely.

Looks like you got nice color on the outside , and still kept the inside uniform edge to edge . Good job .

That looks awesome!!!
Isn't Coulotte steak the same as trip tip, just butchered differently?

 

[myownidaho]

I’ve seen tri-tip cut into steaks and called Coulotte but real Coulotte comes from the top sirloin while tri-tip comes from the bottom sirloin.

That explains why they seemed so different in tenderness to me.
I couldn't believe that they were the same cut as T.T. The butcher I use cuts them out of T.T. and they never had the same tenderness as the first
Coulotte steaks I had at a friend's house. Im pretty sure Costco cuts them out of T.T as well, I'll find out in a few hours I'm making a meat run.
LOL....That didn't sound right, hahaha.
Thank you.

Beautiful looking meat, perfectly cooked, and an all around great looking meal. Like!

Where I am, the cut goes under a few different names,; top sirloin cap, rump cap or cover, coulotte, or picanha. My preference is the picanha as, unlike the coulette, it's left untrimmed of the roughly 1/2" fat cap. Both the coulette and picanha are extremely flavorful cuts of beef, but I think that the fat on the picanha adds another level of richness to the taste. Also, my local butcher always has picanhas available. Angus choice goes for $12/lb. and prime is $18/lb.

BTW, for those whose butcher looks at them cross eyed when asked about the cut, the NAMP number for the whole roast, around 2 1/2-3 lbs., is 184D. If it's cut and sold as steaks, I believe the number is 1184D.

FWIW, My Costco has had Prime Coulotte steaks (packaged as Beef Top Loin Steak Boneless Cap Off) for $8.49 a pound. Most tender, flavorful and juicy steak I've had in a long time.
