Everyday Cut
Tri-Tip
A family-style cut built for slicing and sharing.
A triangular roast from the bottom sirloin that cooks like a thick steak and slices like a roast. Grill it over indirect heat, rest it properly, and cut thin slices across the grain for a shared platter.

Preparation
Look for the grain direction before cooking — you'll need to cut across it later.
Best cooked weekend.
Storage & Thawing
- Thaw beef in the refrigerator, never on the counter. Plan on roughly 24 hours for every 5 lb of a large roast, and overnight for steaks and ground beef.
- Keep it on a rimmed plate or sheet pan so any juices stay contained and away from other food.
- Once thawed, ground beef should be used within 1–2 days; steaks and roasts within 3–5 days.
- For food-safety guidance on thawing, storage times and safe handling, follow the USDA's current recommendations.
