Tri-Tip: the alternative to picanha
The tri-tip is a muscle with a lot of inherent flavor. Don't be put off by the fat cap; this is where that extra flavor lies. The Tri-Tip is perfect for grilling. You treat your guests to a lot of flavor at a fairly reasonable price. The meat from Beef&Steak comes from selected farms from all over the world. Mostly they are real meat breeds, such as Angus, Hereford, Blonde d'Aquitaine, and Wagyu. You are guaranteed quality meat and also convenience in ordering. With a click of a mouse, you'll have it delivered the next day and ready to BBQ!
Cooking a tri-tip
Cooking a tri-tip is not difficult. The meat is perfectly fine to serve both medium-rare and medium-well. It's also called the "newlywed piece" for a reason. In the past, a newlywed couple would receive this piece from the local butcher. Usually, their cooking skills weren't that great yet, but with this piece, it couldn't go wrong. Besides grilling, the tri-tip is also good for use as meat on a skewer. By slowly rotating it over a nice fire, the meat gets a crispy crust and remains juicy inside.
How long does it take to cook a tri-tip?
Depending on the thickness and size of the piece, if you cook it whole, you can expect 45 to 60 minutes for a piece of one and a half kilos. If the piece is thinner than average, it takes a little less time, and if you have a very thick tri-tip, it will obviously take a little longer. It's done when it's done. You can see on our page with cooking temperatures what temperature to aim for as the core temperature.
How do I prepare the tri-tip?
A tri-tip has a lot of flavor on its own and could handle just some salt and pepper perfectly. At Beef&Steak, you can buy these spices ready-made, of course. Make a few incisions in the fat cap, making a diagonal diamond pattern. Sprinkle the spices on top and cook the tri-tip indirectly to about 48 to 50 degrees in the core. Then grill the piece on direct fire on both sides.
