BEEF TRI TIP (MESQUITE) 3 LBS USDA CHOICE

This Beef Tri Tip (Mesquite), USDA Choice (3 lbs) is a bottom sirloin cut seasoned with mesquite-style flavoring to complement the natural beef profile without overwhelming it. Tri tip is known for its balance of leanness and flavor and performs best when cooked with controlled heat and sliced correctly across the grain.

The mesquite seasoning is intended to enhance grilled or roasted preparations, particularly for cooks who want a more developed smoke-forward profile without extended smoking time.

How to Cook Mesquite Tri Tip

Tri tip benefits from moderate heat and careful slicing:

• Grill over medium to medium-high heat, using indirect heat as needed

• Roast until medium-rare or medium for best texture

• Allow the meat to rest before slicing

• Slice thin and against the grain, changing direction as the grain shifts

Avoid high flare-ups, as seasoning can darken quickly.
