Key Facts
Jac Wagyu Tri Tip MB 6-7 is a triangular cut from the bottom sirloin, offering fantastic balance between robust beefy and tender texture. The marble score of MB 6-7 indicates an abundance of rich marbling which melts during cooking, resulting in an intensely flavourful and luxuriosly tender steak.
Important Notes:
- High-Heat is Key: This Wagyu cut benefits from quick cooking over high heat due to its rich marbling.
- Don't Overcook: The high fat content makes this tri-tip prone to overcooking.
Grilling:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Sear tri-tip for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms.
Move to indirect heat or lower the temperature and continue cooking until desired doneness.
3. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Reverse Sear:
1. Preheat oven to a low temperature, around 100-120°C (225-250°F).
2. Slow-roast the tri-tip on a wire rack in a baking sheet until the internal temperature reaches about 10-15 degrees below your desired final temperature.
3. Heat a grill or cast iron skillet to very high heat. Sear the tri-tip for 1-2 minutes per side to get a deep brown crust. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Sous Vide:
1. Set sous vide device to your desired level of doneness (refer to guides for medium rare, medium, etc.).
2. Season the tri-tip and seal in a sous vide bag.
3. Cook for the time recommended based on thickness. Finish by searing quickly in a very hot pan or grill for a flavorful crust.
Tips:
- Thermometer is Essential: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect results. - Aim for medium-rare (54-57°C /130-135°F) for the best balance of tenderness and flavor.
- Slice Against the Grain: Cut the tri-tip across the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Let It Rest: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more succulent.
Doneness Guide
Rare (48-52°C): Incredibly tender and juicy, with a cool red center. Ideal for those who prefer a very rare steak experience.
Medium-Rare (54-57°C - Recommended): The sweet spot for Wagyu's tenderness and rich flavor. Offers a beautiful pink center and melts-in-your-mouth texture.
Medium (60-63°C): The meat becomes firmer with a slightly less pink center. Suitable for those who dislike too much pink in their steak.
Medium-Well (65-69°C): Begins to lose significant juiciness and tenderness due to Wagyu's high fat content.
Well Done (Above 70°C): Not recommended for Jac Wagyu Tri Tip. The high marbling leads to a potentially tough and less flavorful steak when cooked beyond medium.
