Tri-tip is an American term for the beef rump tail. It’s a versatile and flavourful cut taken just below the sirloin.
The exquisite marbling of the beef cut delivers a rich, deep flavour that’s perfect for a variety of cooking methods.
For the best results, you should cook it low and slow when whole or hot and fast when sliced or skewered. Whether you smoke, barbecue, grill, or roast, this beef rump tail always delivers mouthwatering results.
Ideal for recipes similar to Picanha, the beef rump tail is a must-try for meat lovers.

Bring the joint to room temperature (about 1 hour out of the fridge) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with coarse sea salt and black pepper (or your favourite rub, keep it simple for classic tri-tip style). Score the fat cap lightly if present to help render and crisp.
For hot-and-fast (sliced or skewered, BBQ/grill focus): Slice into steaks (1-2 inches thick) or portion for skewers. Preheat grill/BBQ to high heat (200-250°C+). Sear over direct heat 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal 52-55°C), turning for even char and crust. Rest 5-10 minutes.
For low-and-slow whole (smoker/roast): Preheat smoker to 110-135°C or oven to 120-140°C. Smoke/roast fat-side up until internal reaches 52-55°C for medium-rare (about 1-2 hours depending on size/method), then optional reverse sear on high heat for crust. Use a meat thermometer throughout. Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 10-15 minutes before carving, this lets the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness and flavour.
Carve thinly against the grain into slices, serving fat-side up to showcase the rendered richness.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply seasoned to let the rich marbling and deep beef flavour shine, or elevate with chimichurri sauce, lime & chilli salsa, roasted pineapple, or garlic herb butter, pair with grilled vegetables, flatbreads, rice, beans, or salad for the ultimate BBQ or steakhouse experience.
