Specifications: Grass fed tri tips weigh an average of 2lbs each and are shipped frozen and individually wrapped within the case. They have been wet-aged for 21 days for better flavor and tenderness.

Applications: Grass fed beef tri tips make great roasts, or can be sliced into tri tip steaks. Use a dry rub prior to roasting to bring extra flavor to your tri tip (try using chili powders, Szechuan pepper or freshly ground dried chilies). Each tri tip will easily feed four to five people. Rest each roast for 5-10 minutes once it’s finished in the oven, then slice thinly at an angle and serve either with starch (why not heirloom potatoes?) and a veggie or use it in delicious hot or cold sandwiches.
