Tri-tip is a beef cut that comes from the bottom sirloin and it is a very tender, flavorful cut that is perfect for grilling. The best way to cook tri-tip is to grill it over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes per side. You can also cook tri-tip in the oven by roasting it at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. One simple way to elevate the flavor of tri-tip is to rub it with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking. Another great way to add flavor is to serve it with a delicious sauce or marinade. Remember, the key to great cooking is using quality ingredients. At Crowd Cow, we only source the highest quality beef from ranchers we trust. So, whether you're cooking tri-tip at home or ordering it from us, you can be sure that you're getting the best possible taste.
Flavor Profile
This tri-tip was raised in the best possible manner to produce the highest quality and is perfect for grilling. The flavor profile is rich and beefy, with a mouthfeel that is juicy and tender. The overall eating experience is truly sublime.
Chef's Serving Suggestions
One of the best side dishes to serve with tri-tip is mashed potatoes. The creamy texture and buttery flavor of the potatoes pairs well with the beefy, smoky taste of the tri-tip. Another great option is a simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. For sauces, a classic bbq sauce or horseradish sauce are both good choices. And finally, don't forget herbs! A sprinkle of fresh parsley or rosemary over the tri-tip will add a flavorful finishing touch.

From Care to Culinary Delight

It all comes down to ethical care, Royal Ranch's secret to creating that unforgettable melt-in-your-mouth beef. Thriving naturally, without artificial hormones or unnecessary antibiotics while living in a low-stress, harmonious environment, they develop the distinct marbling that makes their beef truly exceptional.

Raised and Grazed with Love

Royal Ranch Cattle are born and nurtured on fertile land under a modest climate, and personally tended to by the Allred family from birth. They enjoy a diet that's 90% homegrown, carefully tailored to their unique biology, with nutrient-rich local crops, grains, and vegetables. This diverse, high-quality diet guarantees marbling perfection throughout their lifetime, resulting in unrivaled texture, tenderness, and flavor.

Sustainable Excellence

Austin Allred's farming legacy, stemming from his grandparents' beginnings in the 1950s, has evolved into Royal Ranch, a 5,000-acre expanse in Central Washington. Here, traditional crops coexist with dairy and beef cattle, fostering soil health and emissions reduction. Notably, a pioneering six-acre worm bed system purifies and recycles irrigation water. These initiatives have steered Royal Ranch toward carbon neutrality, ensuring a sustainable future for the land and the planet.

Farm Transparency

Austin and his wife Camille acknowledged the existing disconnect between the farm, the consumer, and all aspects of the food production process. Driven by their desire to offer customers a genuine understanding of their food's origins, they founded FarmTracer — a comprehensive farm transparency system. This platform empowers consumers to learn more about their food choices, from the farm's location and the animals' diet to the product's carbon footprint. By simply scanning the QR code on the packaging, customers gain access to a wealth of information, ensuring complete transparency and traceability.

We believe in creating a meaningful connection between you and the food you eat. Taste, transparency and convenience shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. This has been our founding belief since we started in 2015, and it continues to be the force that drives us.
