When I saw 'tri-tip' mentioned here on an Oklahoma forum I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Im from California and most Californians dont know what good BBQ is because its hard to find it any where there. But there is a little joint near my house up in northern Cali that does up some of the best tri-tip sandwhiches Ive ever had. I never see tri-tip here or hear of it any where near Tulsa anyways.tri-tip. It's what Californians call barbecue. Sure, not barbecue by my standards. But it's damn good nonetheless.
Go with the fat Rib-eyes. Thats my favorite cut of beef besides a good piece of tenderloin.
