Last night I ate the best beef of my life. I had the butcher at HEB cut me a Tritip as I have never cooked or ate one. I got my egg up to 650F and seared it 1.5 minutes per side. After the sear I took it off, wrapped it in foil and set it to the side. I then threw in a hand full of mesquite chips and closed the vents down on the egg. Once the temp reached 375F I unwrapped the Tritip and put it back on for 4 minutes. You can see the results bellow. It was extremely tender and had the perfect amount of smoke from the mesquite. I will take this beef over any I have eaten before.

Tri Tip is the best Beef cut I have ever smoked or BBQed.
Just can't find them in Lake Charles anymore.

Tri tip is fantastic But i can't find a butcher here who is willing to cut them. they tell me that it takes parts of 3 other cuts (TRI) and that it's not worth it to them to cut it.

Cost per lb. is cheaper than brisket, but about the same as a sirloin.
It is tender, cooks well, juicy and not too big. It will feed 5 or 6 and not have a lot left over.

I was suprised by the price. If I recall it was 3.99 per pound.

What part of the animal does this cut come from?

Looks a little like a "flank" steak.

It's from the bottom area of the sirloin. Very tender.
