The tri-tip is a triangular shaped cut at the tip of the sirloin and is surrounded by the sirloin, round, and flank primals. It can be used as a roast or it can be cut into steaks. The tri-tip steak is excellent when it is grilled or broiled, but it can easily become very tough if it is overcooked. The fat should not be trimmed until after cooking because it helps to seal in the juices, keeping the meat somewhat tender. The tri-tip is also known as triangle Steak and culotte steak.
