Tri Tip

Tri-Tip Roast (100% Grassfed & Grass-Finished Beef)

Tri-tip is a bold, beautifully textured cut known for its rich beef flavor and versatility. At Harris Homeplace Farm, our tri-tip comes from 100% grassfed and grass-finished cattle—raised on open pasture, never confined, and never given added hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. The result is clean, nutrient-dense beef with a depth of flavor that reflects regenerative land stewardship and careful animal husbandry.

Grassfed tri-tip offers a robust, slightly mineral-forward profile with a satisfying chew when cooked properly. It’s a cut that shines with simple seasoning, confident heat, and proper slicing.

Best Ways to Prepare:

• Classic Santa Maria Style (Grilled Whole)
  Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic. Grill over indirect heat until it reaches 125–130°F internally, then sear over direct heat for a flavorful crust. Rest well before slicing.

• Oven Roast + Hard Sear
  Roast at 375°F until medium-rare, then finish in a hot cast iron skillet for caramelization.

• Reverse Sear Method
  Slow roast at 250°F until just under target temperature, then sear hot and fast. Ideal for even doneness edge to edge.

• Smoked Tri-Tip
  Smoke low and slow with oak or hickory, then finish with a quick sear. Excellent for gatherings.

• Thin-Sliced for Sandwiches or Steak Salads
  Cook to medium-rare, rest 10–15 minutes, and slice thinly against the grain (note the grain shifts direction—adjust your knife accordingly).

For best results, cook to medium-rare (130–135°F), allow proper resting time, and always slice against the grain for tenderness.

Tri-tip is a standout cut for those who appreciate real beef flavor—simple, honest, and raised the right way.
