I think that will be the last time I do a tri this way....I like grilling em way better!!

Thanks for giving us your final opinion of method.

That being said do you think grilled Tri-Tip is a good or better than grilled rib eye?
Reason for the question is rib eye is cheaper here than tri-tip.

I will take a grilled rib-eye any day of the week!!

Thanks for our honest answer.

Maybe the some of the members can answer me the following.
Is Tri-tip cheaper than rib-eye in other areas?

I get a whole rib-eye roast from Costco and cut my own steaks. Very cost effective but never as cheap as rib-eyes on sale.

IMHO there is nothing like a flame grilled rib-eye

I get choice Rib eye roast at this little market behind my job for 4.99 a lb.  He slices it at .75 thick and I get roughly -21- steaks each time!!

We also get Choice Rib Eyes for $4.29 to 4.99 a pound.
The few times I find Tri-tip the price is in the $7 to $8 range.
