This cut surprised us with its striking balance of tenderness and robust flavor, thanks to its pasture-raised heritage. The meat was visibly marbled, offering a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth texture once seared. Unlike standard tri-tip, which can lean gamey, ours benefited from the extra fat, creating a depth of flavor that rivaled more premium loin varieties. The Step 4 grading, while not top-tier, provided exceptional value without sacrificing quality. We found it ideal for slow roasting or slicing, whether rustic or refined. Our experience confirms that pasture-raised tri-tip need not compromise—this roast delivers.
