Prior to the 1950’s, butchers would often use the tri-tip for stew meat or ground hamburger before it finally took its place in the butchers’ case after becoming popular in the Santa Maria Valley.

Tri-tip is a flavorful, lean cut that is perfect for braising, smoking, grilling or roasting. Slice it like a steak or chop it up to throw in your chili. Just remember, when cutting your tri-tip, make sure you cut across the grain (which changes direction throughout the cut), which will ensure you get a nice tender bite each time.

We have partnered with two ranches in California to bring you the highest quality beef. To us, that means cattle that is raised on pasture their entire lives and are always grass fed and grass finished. There is no supplemental feed, antibiotics, or growth hormones ever used.

Size: 1.8-2 LBS

All orders ship frozen with dry ice and insulated packaging to arrive in perfect condition. We ship Monday–Wednesday to avoid weekend delays. Orders placed after Wednesday will ship the following week.

Our beef meets a standard 99% of farms can't. 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, California beef. Corn-free. Soy-free. No antibiotics, no hormones, no steroids. Raised on regenerative pasture, the way cattle were meant to live.

As a PA, I started this farm because I couldn't find meat I trusted for my own family. This is it, raised the way I was looking for all those years ago

Buy your meat, honey, chicken, bone broth and more from Primal Pastures and have it shipped directly to your door! This meat is SO GOOD. - Dr. Casey Means

Why It's Different

Most "grass-fed" beef is still grain-finished in feedlots. Ours isn't.

01

Grass Fed & Grass Finished

Our cattle graze on open pasture from birth to harvest — no feedlots, no grain finishing, no exceptions. A lifetime on grass means richer flavor, better fat profiles, and beef that actually earns the label.

Primal: open pasture, grass only, corn-free, soy-free
Conventional: "grass-fed" label, grain-finished in feedlots
02

No GMOs, Steroids, or Antibiotics

Healthy animals raised the right way don't need pharmaceutical interventions. Our cattle are never given antibiotics, hormones, or steroids — not once, not ever. Because that's what "clean" actually means.

Primal: no antibiotics, steroids, or growth hormones
Conventional: routine pharmaceuticals to maximize feedlot yield
03

No Chemicals on Pasture

Our cattle graze on land free from chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Healthy soil grows healthy grass. Healthy grass raises healthy beef. We believe less inputs = better outputs.

Primal: regenerative pasture, sunlight, rainfall, nature
Conventional: chemically treated land, confined feeding operations

raised on grass with love

Beef raised right.

Our cattle spend their entire lives on open pasture: no feedlots, no grain finishing, no corn, no soy. Ever. A lifetime on grass means beef with better fat profiles, richer flavor, and a nutrient density you can actually taste.

Dissatisfied

Unfortunately, we found all of our cuts of meat to be very chewy. We had high hopes for this brand, but we’re ultimately not pleased with anything we ordered.

We're so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the products as much as you had hoped. Please reach out to info@primalpastures.com if you need any further assistance.

The tri-tip was very tender. I wish for the price that it was at least 3 lbs instead of 2.

Beef Tri Tip Outstanding

Family and guests raved about it. Rubbed with EVOO flavored with garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes then Montreal season then in frig for several hours. Taken out for one hour or so. Pan Seared 3 minutes a side then in oven 400 degrees about 20 mins to about 130 degrees (recipe I found had said 125) but that was a bit to low for me. Came out beautifully rare in middle medium rare closer to edges. Able to reheat slightly for a few minutes and maintained most of its rareness. Absolutely fantastic cut of beef.

Great flavor, but…

The flavor itself is excellent, but the meat is tough, even after tenderizing and comparing it to other farms’ tri-tips.

One of the best! Moist and tender and just enough fat to add great flavor.

Best Tri Tip ever.

I smoked this Tri tip. It was absolutely the best Tri tip I have ever tasted. It melted in your mouth. I coated it with a Santa Maria Rub and smoked it at 225 for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. I hope I can post a picture!! I was soooo delicious!!

'Can't really go wrong with tri-tip. This was our first time having one from Primal Pastures. We used it as a roast instead of bbq style. It was out valentine's day dinner, along with home grown broccoli, sweet potatoes and salad. Every bite was delicious!
