How to Cook a Tri-Tip Steak on the Grill
At 6 oz, this steak moves fast over heat. Season generously with our Operator Red Hickory Smoke Seasoning and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking. Grill over direct high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pulling at an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain — note that the grain runs in two directions across this cut, so follow each muscle section as you carve. A finishing pinch of Smoked Cherrywood Sea Salt right before serving elevates it further.
- Rare: 125°F
- Medium-Rare: 130–135°F — Recommended for best flavor and tenderness.
- Medium: 145°F
Grass-Fed Beef Nutrition — Why the Difference Is Real
Grass-fed and grass-finished beef has a measurably different nutritional profile than conventional grain-finished beef. Our Tri-Tip Steak delivers the full benefit of that difference — no grain residue, no artificial additives, just clean protein with the fat composition that comes from a natural diet. Pairs well with the rest of our grass-fed beef lineup if you're stocking a serious freezer.
- Higher in Omega-3 Fatty Acids — A healthier fat ratio than grain-fed beef.
- Rich in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) — A beneficial fat naturally occurring in grass-fed ruminants.
- Clean Protein Source — No fillers, no additives, no grain residue.
- Keto, Paleo, Whole30 and Carnivore Approved — Fits virtually every clean-eating protocol.

Grass-Fed Tri-Tip Steak — Frequently Asked Questions
A tri-tip steak is a portion cut from the tri-tip roast — the triangular muscle from the bottom sirloin. It has three distinct muscle groups with different grain directions, which gives it a varied texture and bold, beefy flavor. The cut originated in Santa Maria, California, where it became the centerpiece of Santa Maria-style BBQ. At 6 oz, our tri-tip steak is a single-serve portion that cooks quickly over direct heat and delivers the same flavor profile as a full roast.
Tri-tip is one of the best cuts for grilling. It has enough intramuscular fat to stay juicy over direct high heat, a firm texture that holds up to searing, and bold beef flavor that pairs well with smoke or a simple salt and pepper crust. At 6 oz, it reaches the right internal temperature quickly — typically 3 to 4 minutes per side over high heat. The one technique requirement is slicing against the grain in two directions after resting, which makes the difference between tender and chewy.
Tri-tip is made up of three distinct muscle groups whose grain runs in different directions across the cut. If you slice the entire steak in one direction, roughly half the slices will be cut with the grain rather than against it — resulting in a tougher, chewier bite. Find the point where the grain shifts direction (usually near the center of the triangular cut) and adjust your angle there. Always cut perpendicular to the grain. This one step is the biggest factor in how a tri-tip eats.
Yes — 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. Grass-finished means the cattle ate grass for their entire lives, not just in the early months. Many products labeled grass-fed are actually grain-finished before processing. Ours are not. No grain, corn, or soy is used at any stage. This applies to every beef product we sell at Ferguson Farms, including this steak. The difference shows up in flavor, fat composition, and nutrient profile.
Yes. Our cattle are raised without added hormones, steroids, or antibiotics at any point. This is a non-negotiable standard across every product we sell — not a label applied to select cuts. If you have questions about specific sourcing practices, we're glad to answer them directly.
