I found a Tri-Tip at publics yesterday (Finally) and decided it would make a good dinner. I asked the butcher if they had any and he said “Oh, that west coast cut of meat, yes we just started carrying them”.
It was already cut into steak pieces, I would have rather had a whole one, but you get what you get.
The sale price was $6.99/LB. Is that the average prices? Kind-of high in my opinion, making it around $9/lb at regular price.
I seared the steaks in a cast iron skillet for a couple minutes and added a spud to the plate. The tri is a very tasty cut of meat and very tender and juicy. I will be getting this again but will wait for a whole tip next time, if I can find one.
