We found Tri-tip at a butcher in Waxhaw, we are from Ca. are are used to finding it everywhere. We also found it the other day in Costco..first time I have every seen it there. Good Luck!
Big DUUUUUH for me. You're probably talking about "What's Your Beef" on Providence. Great guys from Jersey. I've been in there before but not frequently. Grandparents are very close.
Thanks a million!
I will give them a call. My DH, a steak lover, has never had tri tip and I'd like him to experience the flavor.
In The Complete Meat Cookbook, authors Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly write, "In the old days, when butchers cut their meat from the whole beef, they cut sirloins with the bone in, and the tri-tip portion, a triangular chunk of bottom sirloin, ended up as a nondescript part of sirloin steak. Nowadays the sirloin is boned out whole at the packing plant, and the two tri-tips are separated, boned, and sold to butchers whole, thereby creating a new and tender cut."
This is where I remember it. If you take this document with you http://virtualweberbullet.com/meatch...tos/tritip.pdf A butcher/cutter at a grocery store should know what you're talking about and tell you what that particular store calls it here.
Which is what I was trying to think of because I know I've cut it before, just no one has called it a Tri-tip...
Being from Fl I had never hear of this until someone who relocated here from up north asked me where to get tri tip. Well the Lowe's Foods by my house sells it. You may want to try the one close to you
cant say that i have seen it at HT or lowes but havent looked for it or asked. i know that Trader Joe's always has it, being that they are california based im not surprised. they have it plain but i like to get the marinaded ones (they have a santa maria version and a carne asada...yum!).
I visited with a friend in Antioch, CA and he was going on and on about grilling a Tri Tip for dinner that night. Wow! That was delicious!!!
