BEEF TRI TIP (YUKON GOLD) 3.25 LBS USDA CHOICE

This Beef Tri Tip (Yukon Gold), USDA Choice (3.25 lbs) is our best-selling tri tip and a long-standing customer favorite. Cut from the bottom sirloin and marinated in-house, it is designed to deliver consistent flavor and reliable results with minimal preparation.

The Yukon Gold marinade is soy sauce–based and often compared to teriyaki, but it is intentionally less sweet. The profile is more acidic, garlicky, and balanced, allowing the beef itself to remain the focus rather than being masked by sugar.
