TriTip

Its starting to build up to BBQ season (well heres hoping...)   Has any one had any luck coming across TriTip?

E-how UK has this definition:

The tri-tip is a triangular cut of beef from the tip of the cow's sirloin. It is a thick, rich, flavourful steak, popular for barbecue grilling and oven roasting. However, tri-tips can be difficult to find -- the cut goes by many names, and your local butcher may not know what a tri-tip is. Some butchers grind this part of the cow into mince or slice it into steaks rather than sell it whole, and some do not regularly stock it at all. However, most will supply it on request.

Good luck 

Thanks for the response.   I may stick with Burgers! than try to explain this to my local butcher...  :-)

I'd show the butcher this picture of the animal!

I had the reverse problem, trying to find familiar cuts of meat when I lived in the US.

I've found it from a local butcher who I frequent to get a chuck roast with the bone and flank and skirt as well as packer sized brisket. It took me a bit as they aren't used to these cuts however I struck up a conversation with a very small butcher and he has requested these cuts just for me. Hope you find some in your area

It looks like its part of the thick flank.  Its weird what the Brazilians do to the carcase.
