I’ve been eating tri tip almost as long as I can remember. Have had it cooked, and cooked it myself, every way imaginable.

Some commas for you.

30 years in Texas 30 years in California and now back home in Texas, never thought I would pick In and Out over Whataburger but I am really glad In and Out is here now.

You spent too much time in California...

LOL!

My three favorite things are eating my family and not using commas.

Copied for later use.
I love beef roasts.

Where have you lived your whole life? India?

$13 a pound? Hell here in SoCal it’s regularly on sale for $2.99 trimmed.

[gundog]

That’s only two things, genius. ;)

Depends on your location in the southeast its common on most menus. I am in the PNW so its a special order from my local meat market.

[katana]

Thanks. That sheds some light on the reason why it became so relatively expensive. Still delicious, though.

Heard of in only in the last few years. A friend served “Encinitas Crack” AKA burgundy tri-tip. So good!

Kinda like flank steak, my all-time favorite and birthday request since 1965.

Tri tip is mighty fine but I would recommend giving Flatiron steaks a go. With a marinade, this muscle has outstanding flavor and is fairly priced. Take this from a University Beef Specialist. Happy eating!

Great post. Thanks!

Trim the fat off, coat it in Montreal steak seasoning, and grill it. Some people do olive oil before coating in seasoning. Then just slice it up into strips.

Makes an incredible sandwich as well.

Fat should never be trimmed from red meat, it is what makes it juicy, IMO. I have tried Montreal seasoning on pork and chicken but never beef, I will have to try it on beef as well.

Thank You, Fester!

Tri_tip is the California State food at every fair.

Sure is. It's a biggie here.

You can cook a Tri Tip in a Crockpot.
There are a bunch of recipes on the Internet.
Be sure to slice it at an angle. Tastes better.
In S California you can get it for less than $5 a pound.
