    Picanha or Tri-Tip?

    I decided to try that other mail order place Good Chop. So far, there are two strikes with broken seals on packages. This might be strike 3. I choose Tri-Tip. Imma thinking I got a picanha! Thoughts, Pitmasters?

    Look like the P one. Maybe they have a Mixed Sirloin bin and ship the first one they grab.

        That last pic looks like the grain is running in one direction only, even "untrimmed" tri tip wouldnt have a fat cap on only one side, no "boomerang" shape. I vote picanha.

          What you have there looks like a TT to me. I never buy Picanha, thus never grill it or see it very often.

                That’s a Picanha, no doubt. They messed up.

                  Definitely a picanha, but that's not a bad thing! Cook it the same way you were going to with the TT, it'll be great. It's a wonderful cut, has its own distinct beefiness in the flavor. Tri tip does too, but it's not the same - but they're both unique and distinctive. Must try!

                    It looks just like my Picanha from Porter Road.

                      Well, I hope that picanha is good.

                        Even Angel Hernandez could get this call right - strike 3!

                        Sadly, that is a picanha.

                            Definitely Picanha. That's pathetic.

                            Creekstone Farms did the same thing to me at Christmas. I ordered a prime grad rib roast and they sent me a strip roast. And the strip roast seemed to be Select, at best. I emailed them about it and got no reply. I'll never order from them again, even if they offer me free Wagyu.

                            Ok, maybe if they offer me free Wagu I will reconsider, lol.
