The Wagyu smoked tri tip is smoked over Texas post oak and ships frozen. Completely thaw the tri tip in your refrigerator. This takes 1 to 2 days. The thawed tri tip can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the tri tip uncovered on a sheet pan in the middle rack. Remove from the heat when the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Cover and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

After the tri tip rests, slice and serve.

The loin primal supplies some of the most desirable steaks and is located below the backbone, between the rib and round sections. The sirloin is the portion toward the rear of the loin and is the source of top sirloin steaks and the picanha (coulotte). The front portion of the loin is known as the short loin and is home to the New York strip, Porterhouse, T-bone and filet mignon steaks.

Who is Southside Market and Barbeque?

Today, Southside continues its tradition of excellence using the time-proven techniques and ingredients to produce world class BBQ.

What is American Wagyu?

American Wagyu is purebred Japanese Wagyu crossbred with high-quality American cattle breeds. The result is beef with rich marbling that bastes itself as it cooks, delivering deep beef flavor and exceptional juiciness. In a thin, high-heat cut like the outside skirt, that marbling makes a meaningful difference in the finished bite.

What is tri tip?

Tri tip is a relatively lean, triangular shaped cut from the bottom of the sirloin primal. It is the foundation for Santa Maria (a city in Central California) style barbecue. The tri tip has a distinct grain, is thick in size and is best prepared at a lower temp to cook properly.
