Tri-Tip Question.

[rick1201]

I have been able to get tri-tip roasts fairly regular from my local BJ's clup. When I first got them from the club the meat Manager was a little puzzled at what I was looking for. After thinking for a minute or so he figured out the tri-tip was a meat they sliced and sold as a particular cut of steak. Well now the manager no longer works there and I do not recall the cut of meat that they used. Was wondering if any one could tell me what sliced tri-tip would be sold as. Spoke to an an employee today and they were clueless. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

It comes from the bottom sirloin answer has a meat classification Namp 185d.. your butcher should be able to find it with the namp number
