Prime TriTip

I bought a prime TriTip from Costco. McCormick Roasted Garlic and Herb/Coffee rubbed. On the ssp indirect for 45 minutes. Turned out tasty. I will say their choice TriTip is just as good as prime.

I thought the same thing the one time I tried their prime TriTip. That meal looks wonderful!

Great looking meal! My family and I did a very unscientific test between the Costco prime and choice tri-tips. Our results were the same; no difference in taste prime vs choice. The only conclusion was that the choice was 'slightly' less tender. A negligible difference, especially given that Costco blade tenderizes those things.

Like pics from the Sears Christmas catalog. Nicely done!

That cook looks tasty.

I wonder if Costco blade tenderizes the cryovac sealed tri tips in a bag?

Love Costco prime tri-tips!!
Last I looked the price wasn’t much cheaper for choice.

Iirc, Last week choice was 7.39 lb and prime was over 10 at Costco by me

Those they do not blade tenderize (AFAIK). I haven't looked at the label on those, but I'm 99.9% sure they do not.

They do sell them untrimmed in bulk. The ones in the display cases are trimmed up, but not tenderized.

Looks tasty! I found the same with the quality. I actually don't buy meat any more from Costco. I started buying from our grocery supply. Same quality meat way less expensive. I do have to plan though as its all bulk. That said the tri tip I get has 4-6 in each pack. So its easy for me too delegate freezer space. When I run out I buy another pack and eat one and vac pack the rest into the freezer. Paid $ 3.69/pound last time. That was peeled Angus. The unpeeled choice was $3.49/pound.
