Our take on the Tri Tip Beef Roast Nebraska Beef

This is a boneless tri tip roast from Nebraska family-farm cattle, dry-aged and sold fresh, unseasoned and unmarinated. Tri tip is a triangular cut from the bottom sirloin, lean but with a coarse grain that takes a good sear and stays tender when sliced against it. It suits roasting, grilling or smoking whole, and it is a cheaper route to a beef centerpiece than prime rib or tenderloin. Prices for this cut swing with the season and with shipping weight, so compare the per-pound figure across stores before buying.

Questions and answers

Is tri tip a good roast for a beginner?
Yes, if you have a meat thermometer. Cook it to 130-135°F for medium-rare, rest it, and slice thin against the grain. Overcooking is the main way it goes wrong.
How does tri tip compare to rump roast?
Tri tip is smaller, more tender and cooks faster. Rump roast is leaner and tougher, better for slow braising or pot roast than for slicing medium-rare.
How should I cook a whole tri tip?
Sear it on all sides, then finish in a 350°F oven or indirect grill heat until it hits 130-135°F. Rest 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Is it marinated or seasoned?
No. It ships plain and fresh, so add your own salt, rub or marinade. Dry-aging already gives it a deeper flavor.
How much roast do I need per person?
Plan on about 8 ounces raw per person, or 6 ounces if there are plenty of sides. A whole tri tip typically runs 2 to 3 pounds and serves four to six.
When is tri tip cheapest?
Beef roast prices tend to dip in late summer and around major grilling holidays. Compare the per-pound price across stores rather than the total, since shipping weight varies.
