That is not a tri-tip. But it sure is one tasty looking hunk of beef!

Never have seen that cut at any of my local markets...

I'll almost dare to say I'll take it over a ribeye any day   :o

I didn't get a chance to go back yesterday to buy more, I'll need to get there in the next couple days

 Quote from Teesquare : "Yup it's the top sirloin cap from the rump of the animal".   
 That is very important information to tell your butcher when looking for this cut.
You will be lucky to get it otherwise...

beautiful cook kona, that is the prized cut at the brazilian steakhouses.  it is usually cooked and served with the fat cap.  if you find the cut again try cooking it with the cap on and post it!!!  i haven't found that cut here but the price you paid for it is way worth it!!

yup lol, I didn't know what to do with the fat cap as I wasn't familiar with the cut. My thought process is, my seasonings won't get to the meat with all that fat on it lol. I'll definitely leave it on again. I know I LOVE the flavor of beef fat when I cook beef ribs  :P

I think somebody mentioned that Albert cooked this at Backyard Jack's Ranch last October. Here is video evidence.

The picanha starts at 4:05 and continues at 7:50. It was delicious.

Never seen that cut of meat in the store, but have had it when in Brazil multiple times.  Delicious!  As always, nice cook Kona!
