Tri Tip on Sale at Whole Foods

[RichieB]

If you have access to a store, regular $13.99 on sale $12.77 if you're a Prime member $11.49 all per pound. The sale goes till next Tuesday. I picked up 2 that are 1.7 and 1.9 pound. Vacuum sealed and ready for the basement freezer.

Yikes! Nice trim, though. What grade?

[RichieB]

Whole Foods doesn't display the grade of their beef. At one time I asked the butcher. He said in the display they are choice. But they have a separate area where the have other cuts and I believe they're prime. They also have dry aged. I don't know grade but they sure look good and $$$$$.

Tri-tip...yum.

Maybe it's just me (and the Mrs.) but I don't love tri rip. I find it too inconsistent with tough/chewy ones mixed in too often with the tender ones.

[RichieB]

You are cutting against the grain? Yes, if cutting with the grain it's like a shoe. Don't ask me how I know. But I've never had a tough one when cut properly.

Hard pass for me. Tri-tip is one of my favorites.
