Let's see who knows their way around a cut of beef. Name that cut.

Tonight's dinner. Cheap but tender and full of flavor. Three steaks of this approximate size were a total of $18.55. This should be an easy one for anyone who knows their way around a steak.

This is actually hard, because that looks like it could be a couple of different cuts to me. Something to scale it would help, so I’ll say this is one of the smaller chunk cuts.

Tri-tip

They do very well with a long marination. I like to do a bloody mary marinade with them, but I use gin instead of vodka. Boil the marinade after 24 hours and use it to baste the meat over a direct medium fire. Cook until about 120 degrees internal, rest 15 minutes, slice across the grain.
 
I don't think I've ever smoked and eaten one like a brisket. I buy a tri-tip to make chili, and marinade it a long time before I smoke it. By the time it's simmered in the chili it's as tender as I want it. Not sure it works any better than brisket, but this is just how I do it.

I don't normally buy meat at Aldi, but I bought a "Southwest Seasoned Tri Tip" one time that was fantastic. Haven't seen it since.

No one else is going to go? I've got a stumper.
