Not sure if you can get them to watch a YouTube video but if you watch this video (starting at 9:05) it shows how to cut a Tri-Tip.

somebody shut me the fark up.
I remember when I could get a rack of spares tor 1.50 and 5 Lb bag of wings for 2.50 If it makes you feel better subtract 43% form the price to get the tru cost since a yankee dollar is only worth 57 cents.

I've only seen one in my life here, and it was like $10 a lb. several years ago. That's why I've never tried it.

If there's a restaurant depot near you get it there in bulk. I got it in Alexandria, VA for 3.99 a pound for trimmed choice. Oh yeah, they were enormous too!

I get it for 3.29lb all day long for Choice. our local Staters sells select for 5.99 trimmed or untrimmed.

This forum may be partially to blame for the high price. There is a fair amount of tri-tip worship going on here.
I have never had tri-tip that I actually liked, but I'm guessing it is because I got it at big events in tri-tip country, so it probably wasn't choice meat, and wasn't cooked properly.
It is hard to find here, and pricey, so I haven't taken the plunge. I don't want to pay a bunch of money for "popular" food. My understanding is that proper tri-tip is really good working-class beef. That's what I want.

Fark, crawfish is even expensive live, anymore. My last boil was ridiculous.
I'm guessing tri-tip is suffering a similar "popularity tax."

Always been $7.99/lb where I live. Usually grab a $20-21 for use.

$4.49/lb here for select, but they do a nice job of trimming it up, so it's mostly meat.

Yeah, I get it at C&C also when feeding a crowd. Costco for just The Family. Thing is I grew up on The Central Coast and have eaten 10,000 times my weight in tri tip so it's not my favorite cut. I'm going to The Central Coast this weekend and may pick up a load of red oak. My stash is getting used up.
