Australian Wagyu Tri-Tip Score 4-5

About this Cut

Our Australian Wagyu Tri-Tip is a very thick beef cut from below the sirloin. It is a larger piece of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Tri-tip is soft and tender with high marbleization. Often, the tri-tip is an underrated cut that many people don’t know about and is, therefore, more affordable than other premium wagyu cuts that typically go to steakhouses. It is a great cut for smoking, and can easily serve a group of 4. It is one of our lesser known cuts we definitely recommend everyone tries at least once.

Cooking Method: Ideal for roasting or grilling. Low and slow is the best strategy for this one. Season and cook over indirect heat, then sear at the end.

Recommended Temperature: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Australian Wagyu

Australian Wagyu is a testament to the art of premium beef production, blending the revered genetics of Japanese Wagyu with Australia's rich pastoral heritage. Renowned for its exceptional marbling, Australian Wagyu offers a luxurious eating experience that is both rich and nuanced. This unique breed benefits from Australia's vast, open grasslands and carefully managed grain-feeding programs, which contribute to the development of its signature marbling and flavor profile. Meticulous care in breeding and feeding ensures a consistently high-quality product that stands out in the global Wagyu market. What makes Australian Wagyu particularly unique is its range of marbling scores, catering to a wide spectrum of tastes and preferences, from the subtly marbled to the intensely rich. This adaptability, combined with the clean, natural environment of Australia, produces beef that is not only delicious but also contains a higher percentage of healthy fats compared to other breeds. Australian Wagyu is a choice for those who seek the ultimate in tenderness, flavor, and a melt-in-your-mouth experience, making it a prestigious and sought-after option for discerning chefs and gourmets worldwide.

4/5 Beef Marbling Score

Australian Wagyu beef with a Beef Marbling Score (BMS) of 4/5 offers a generous amount of marbling, enhancing the meat's flavor and tenderness without being overly rich. This level of marbling is considered excellent, providing a balanced blend of meat and fat that enhances juiciness and flavor during cooking. The marbling melts into the beef as it cooks, creating an exceptionally tender and moist steak. A BMS of 4/5 strikes an ideal balance for those who appreciate the luxurious texture and depth of flavor typical of Wagyu, but prefer a slightly leaner cut than the highest marbling grades. It is perfect for those looking to explore the distinctive taste and texture of Wagyu beef without the intensity of higher marbled cuts, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes and cooking methods. Whether grilled, pan-seared, or broiled, this grade of Wagyu ensures a gourmet experience that is both refined and satisfying.

Grass-Fed, Grain-Finished Beef

Not to be confused with 100% grass fed beef which tends to be much leaner and have more of an earthy flavor, our beef is grass-fed, grain-finished which offers a unique balance of flavor and tenderness, combining the best aspects of both feeding practices. These cattle are raised initially on pastures, where they graze on a natural grass diet. Towards the end of their lives, these cattle are transitioned to a grain-based diet, which enhances marbling — the intramuscular fat that makes beef juicier and more flavorful. This allows for a healthier cow, while still achieving the tenderness and delicious beef flavor that comes from a diet of grains.

This method not only improves the meat’s tenderness and palatability but also allows the beef to retain some of the health benefits of being grass-fed, such as higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants compared to conventionally raised beef. Consumers who choose grass-fed, grain-finished beef enjoy a product that strikes a desirable balance between health benefits and culinary appeal, making it a popular choice for those looking to enjoy high-quality, flavorful beef with enhanced nutritional properties.

Antibiotic and Hormone-Free Beef

All of our cows are raised free of any hormones or antibiotics. This practice ensures that the meat is as natural as possible, reducing consumer exposure to these substances. The absence of antibiotics in the raising of these animals helps prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a significant benefit for public health. Additionally, hormone-free meat often has better taste and quality. By choosing antibiotic and hormone-free meat, consumers support more natural animal husbandry practices and contribute to a healthier environment, while also enjoying safer and more flavorful meat.
