Man that looks great. =P~ .....Can't find it around here. :-(
do you have trader joe's around you? that's where i got these one and the one in my freeze. it was a little out of the way and i had to bring a cooler to work to store it in, but it was worth it.
No trader joe's sound like something that would be up in Griffs neck of the woods... :razz: Thanks for the sug I still have to find a real butcher..maybe that would help.
 
Looking good Bri =D>
I have 2 left in the freezer, that is some good stuff =P~
 
I stopped by my butcher shop today and scored two tri-tips and two prime filets. I'm thinking one tri-tip tomorrow and the filets one night during the week. They are a quick after-work dinner. I'm marinating a flank steak in carne asada for dinner tonight.

Did they recognize it as "Tri-Tip" or did you use another name for it...my butcher said he has never heard of tri-tip...Woodman...does Barb and Patty have Tri-Tip?
 
Greg, if your butcher can't give you what you want by the numbering system below, find another butcher.

Beef Tri-Tip, IMPS/NAMP 185C & 185D
The Beef Tri-Tip is a relatively unfamiliar, profitable cut that offers outstanding taste, convenience and versatility at a moderate price.

Ordering and Purchasing Information

Two cuts in the IMPS/NAMP 185 series can be specified. Each includes more specific cutting, trimming and boning specifications. Netting or Tying Specifications are also included.

• Beef Loin, Bottom Sirloin Butt, Tri-Tip, Boneless, IMPS/NAMP 185C
This item is the portion of the bottom sirloin that remains after removal of the flap (185A) and the ball tip (185B). It is a triangular-shaped muscle and may have up to 1/4-inch fat covering.

• Beef Loin, Bottom Sirloin Butt, Tri-Tip, Boneless, Defatted, IMPS/NAMP 185D
This item is the same as # 185C except that practically all the surface fat and membranous tissue is removed.

Purchasing Information
• One Tri-Tip roast weighs 1-1/2 to 3 pounds; is about 2 inches thick; and yields 4 to 6 cooked portions.
• Frequently vacuum-packaged with six roasts per bag, four bags per box.
• Sometimes mechanically tenderized, vacuum-packaged with one per bag.
 
Man Brian, you could have brought you buddy a little taste of that to the BBQ comp in DC. That is one fine looking hunk of meat.
