what is the correct way to slice a tri-tip?
i'm cooking my first tri-tip tonight and i've seen it sliced every possible way. can someone please post of a picture of a properly sliced tri-tip? or is this just a matter of preference?
thanks in advance.

Thinly, and against the grain which runs at a peculiar angle on tri-tips.

Every time that I ask for a tri tip, the butcher insists that you can't get them anymore because they don't get hanging beef. Is there another cut that would include a tri tip that I don't know about or do I just live in the wrong part of the world. When I wanted a brisket, I had to show him where it was on the cow, and he said"oooooh, stewing beef".

Wrong part of the world expatpig.
They go on sale for $2.50 and sometimes $2.00 a pound around here. Just like ground beef and rib-eyes, I would be SHOCKED if the regular grocery store's meat cooler wasn't fully stocked with them around here. Wrong Part of the world. |

 The against the grain advice is all correct, but..... the grain in a tri-tip changes from one end to the other. So don't just pick a line and start slicing, rather slice a litle bit and check the grain on the slices. Every now and then, you may need to alter your direction a few degrees.

Tri-tip is rare in grocery stores around here in Georgia, but easy to get wholesale if you are willing to buy a case.

A lot of tri-tips from other parts of the country get shipped to CA if I am not mistaken, that is why they are hard to find in some areas.
