Wagyu Beef Tri Tip

Description

Tri Tip is quickly returning to national popularity again, where it should be. This often overlooked cut comes from the from the bottom of the sirloin. "Tri Tip" is derived from its triangular shape featuring a tapered "tip." And many believe it might just be one of the most flavorful cuts of meat that you’ve never heard of.

Often confused with brisket or picanha, tri tip is most popular in Southern California. It is also called a California cut, a bottom sirloin butt, a Newport steak, a Santa Maria steak or even referred to as a “poor man’s brisket”. But unlike brisket – which comes from the front of the cow, below the chuck – tri tip is actually considered a steak.

If you're following some of the popular chefs and butchers on social media, you'll hear a lot of praise for this beautiful small roast.

Preparation

It's called a "Baby Brisket" because it smokes so well, but it can be significantly better than brisket because it is not from the same area of a cow. Grilling is great, marinades help, too. You can sous vide it, grill it, and even roast it. Regardless, just enjoy this popular cut!
