Want to wow friends at your next backyard gathering? Serve them a type of steak<\/a> that they\u2019ve probably never heard of: tri-tip steak. This lean, tender steak is usually more affordable than other steaks, and it has a full-flavored characteristic that\u2019s missing from other cuts. It tastes great even if you don\u2019t use a fancy dry rub or marinade!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to learn how to cook beef tri-tip steak recipes, too, because the meat tastes best when cooked over high heat. That means it was basically made for the grill!<\/p>\n

What is a tri-tip steak?<\/h2>\n

A tri-tip steak is a triangular cut from the bottom sirloin of a tri-tip roast. The boneless roast is usually cut into 1-inch-thick steaks, a perfect size for grilling or searing in a cast-iron pan. Tri-tip steak may also be called bottom sirloin steak or Santa Maria<\/a> steak because it was popularized in California.<\/p>\n

Like other sirloin cuts, tri-tip steak is lean, so you won\u2019t find the same fat cap that\u2019s on a ribeye or New York strip. The tri-tip is well-marbled, though, so it should have plenty of white flecks of intramuscular fat. Put it all together and the result is a steak with a rich, beef-forward flavor you won\u2019t find in other cuts.<\/p>\n
