Tri Tip/Top Sirlion Cap

(1/2) > >>

Danbono:
Hi Went to a local butcher looking for Tri Tip, all he had was Top Sirlion Cap.
1.What is the difference between the two?
2.Is the Top Sirlion Cap just as good as the Tri Tip?
3. Can I buy the Top Sirlion at Restaurant Depot and cut my own Cap? What would the rest be good for?

What do guys think?
Thanks Dan

Hi What cut of beef  would I find the Tri Tip?

I cut the fat cap off. I've done it both ways and found I like it without...
