Found 3 of these tri-tip steaks at Safeway for $8.50 USD (total) so I figured I’d try them out. I wasn’t expecting much, but they happened to be the most flavourful and tender budget steaks I’ve ever had. Pan seared in a cast iron on super-high heat, then finished on low heat and basted in butter, thyme and fresh cloves of garlic; these were comparable to steaks I’ve had in the past that were 2-3x the price. Was this just good luck? Why isn’t tri-tip more popular? (Maybe it is and I just live under a rock, lol) anyway, I will definitely be buying this cut again. Let me know what you guys think

I’ve never seen a tri-tip cut into individual strips. Always in a big portion where I am. Looks like it turned out good though
Solid fucking plate

The marbling is fantastic. Closer to a prime grade for sure!
Prices don’t always matter.
A plate to be proud of. Something mom would make with love 👍
I would mouth-fuck the shit out of that plate
Not bad looking steaks and you cooked them really well. Glad it worked out!
Mac and cheese more like mac and yeast.
If you zoom in there’s a hair in your Mac and cheese
