It’s just not something you hear of here in the east all that much honestly. Most people around here wouldn’t have a clue what it is. I tried it first time 6-8 years ago when buddy was dating girl from California. Since then I have cooked it maybe 20 times. It’s enjoyable as long as it’s not too chewy.
I still prefer brisket
Shouldn't be cooked like a brisket IMO. Tri Tip is to be cooked like steak, 135* medium rare. Briskets to 205 or so to almost fall apart. Brisket's have way more fat.
