About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Tri-tip is a triangle-shaped roast from the bottom sirloin, with good beef flavor and a thin layer of fat on one side. It is popular on the grill, especially in California Santa Maria barbecue, and also does well smoked or roasted. It is best sliced thin across the grain, which changes direction partway through the roast.

Cook’s tipCook to at least 145°F, rest ten minutes, and slice across the grain, turning the roast where the grain changes direction.
