This is how our butcher shop cuts Tri tip. It’s not like the cuts you see out west. Unfortunately I overcooked it for my liking, it still tasted pretty good though. I had a meater probe that wasn’t properly charged and it didn’t last.

Looks more like bavette than tri tip.
Looks like a bavette to me. Tritip has 2 different grain directions and this is basically one.
Find a new butcher.
Still a good cut of meat though.
Looks good. Not a tri tip
No, it had two, it’s tri tip, just different than you know it
Looks like skirt steak
That’s not tri tip
How much did it weigh?
the scams this “butcher shop” be running
That would be the worlds biggest cow if that was a tri tip.
Not a tri tip bruhhhh
That’s flap meat bruh
Grew up out west, now living in beef country. The tri-tips in both places look the same, I cook them regularly, and that isn’t a tri-tip.
Looks awesome
Came here to say it looks like bavette rather than tri tip but others beat me to it. Tritip and bavette take wet marinates very well and it would help w retaining more moisture. I run my Kalbi recipe on tri tips and bavette cuts since they’re so similar.
Definitely not a tri tip. I’ve been cooking tri tip professionally for quite some time and with 1000% certainty this is not tri tip.
That is not a tritip but im sure you can cook it like one
Not a tri tip
As a Californian that grew up almost exclusively on Tri-Tip, it wasn’t until recently that I discovered its mainly a California thing. Even on BBQ pitmaster tv shows I was shocked to see it was a foreign cut to some contestants. I’ve heard about the California exodus to Idaho and they weren’t able to find tritip at the store but so many of the Californians were asking for it so they stock it around there now.
This post is another example of how unfamiliar people can be with it…
Looks like a bavette, not a tri tip.
Biggest new york strip I ever seen
This is beautiful 😍
I don’t know why there are so many haters. Here is how my butcher does a similar [tri tip](https://imgur.com/a/79X0URU)
Dude, as a fellow Marylander, even some butchers here don’t know what tri-tip is. That is not a tri-tip
Definitely not a tri tip. Looks good tho.
Not bad but looks drier than hell.
Confirmed. That’s not a tritip. 🤙🏻😂
Thinner.
At an angle.
So much better.
I use garlic and rosemary stuffed into my tri-tip and then rub with seasoning salt (I use johnnys) – so good like that! You can smoke it, barbecue it, bake it, etc taste so good with that garlic and rosemary stuffed in there. Plus the shell that is created around it when barbecuing or smoking is phenomenal.
That ain’t no tri tip homey!
Idk if this is a tri tip or not but I’d eat the shit out of that dude
lol not a tri tip at all. Like me calling a pichana a ribeye and saying “it’s the way they cut it”.
I would make fajitas out of that
Do yourself a favor and change the title to “Tri Tip”
This isn’t even part of the sirloin, which is where the tri tip is cut from
Not a tritip
Also
Cut against the grain
Both from bottom sirloin primal, whatever
