COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1For optimal tenderness, slice tri-tip against the grain. Note that the grain can run in two different directions on this cut, so you may need to rotate the roast halfway through slicing.
- 2Tri-tip is excellent for grilling or roasting. Sear it over high heat on all sides to develop a crust, then finish with indirect heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
- 3Allow the roast to rest for at least 10-15 minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist cut of meat.
- 4A simple dry rub of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika is a classic seasoning, but it also takes well to marinades for added flavor and tenderness.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Refrigerate raw tri-tip in its original packaging at or below 40°F (4°C) for up to 3-5 days.
- For long-term storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and heavy-duty foil or a freezer bag, and freeze at 0°F (-18°C) for 6 to 12 months for best quality.
- Cooked tri-tip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
