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.

Around here (N Texas), I normally get them for $4.99/lb (for a whole one) and there are plenty of areas where they are even cheaper. Price on that might have been a bit high since it was cut.

Rad tell that butcher to keep a whole one for you. Even ask maybe if you can order one.
Those Tri-tip steaks look to be cooked just right ;)

Looks like you did that one just right! Nice cook! Don

Looks good. I've seen one tri-tip down here where at. It was at Walmart. Must have come in accidentally. I look every time I go and at different stores also. Nothing.

Looks good. What did you think of Californias beefy treasure?

That's what we pay everyday at Costco for Tri. They usually have whole and cut. No idea why the cut them ;)

Looks good RAD, I am going to Publix today and see if they have any that have not be cut yet. If you have a Piggly Wiggly near you check them out. There is one Pig here in the Birmingham area that carries them sometime.

That is a great cut of meat. I can see why it gets so much attention here. Not feeling too bad for paying the price after a couple of price post so I am going to see if I can get a whole one today.
