Steakhouse Classic Tri-Tip on Cutting Board

Steakhouse Classic Tri-Tip

USDA Choice beef sirloin tri-tip

A Midwest Take on a West Coast Favorite

Beef tri-tip might be known as “California’s Cut,” but its tenderness, juiciness and bold flavor brings in fans from coast to coast.

If you’re unfamiliar with tri-tip, it’s the triangular cut of beef from the bottom sirloin – hence the name “tri-tip.” Also known as an affordable cut, beef tri-tip is the best way to get the biggest flavor for your buck.

To give that bold beef flavor the tenderness to match, we only use USDA Choice Beef that’s a product of the USA. Then, we season it in a classic steakhouse rub.

Beef tri-tip is somewhat of a cross between a roast and a steak, although it cooks faster than a standard roast. This cut is super versatile – depending on what you’re craving, you can cook it in the oven for more of that comforting roast flavor, or crank up the grill if you want your tri-tip to taste more like steak.

Easy to Prepare Beef Tri-tip

If you’re after that steak flavor, the grill is your best bet. Grilling your beef tri-tip will give it a delicious, smoky flavor and a crispy blackened exterior.

To grill your beef tri-tip, preheat the grill to approximately 400ºF-450ºF. Place the tri-tip on the grill with the fat side up. Grill it for 30 minutes to 1 hour, flipping at least once to ensure even cooking.

If you’re craving roast, cook your beef tri-tip in the oven. Simply heat your oven to 425ºF, then place your tri-tip on a rack in a shallow roasting pan with the fat side up. You’ll cook your roast for about an hour and a half, let it rest for five minutes, then slice across the grain.

No matter how you decide to prepare your beef tri-tip, the result will be a crisp, caramelized surface, a nice pink center, perfectly tender meat and happy guests.
