TRI TIP (Colita de Cuadril) - Urien Loza Argentina - Price $9.99 / LB

1 piece approx. 2.5 LB — Price $9.99 / LB

The Tri Tip (Colita de Cuadril) from Urien Loza Argentina is a classic of the Uruguayan and Argentine asado — beloved for its incredible flavor, tenderness, and versatility. Often compared to the famous Picanha, these two cuts actually come from the same part of the animal: the cuadril (rump).

🧠 Colita de Cuadril vs. Picanha — know the difference: While the Picanha is the tapa del cuadril (top cap), sitting on the upper part of the rump with a generous fat cap, the Colita de Cuadril sits below it, with a similar triangular shape but leaner profile. Less fat, same incredible flavor and tenderness — and a more accessible price point. Same neighborhood, different address.

• 🔥 A la Parrilla (Grill): A staple of the Uruguayan asado. Cook over medium heat — not too fast, not too slow. This cut needs its time on the grill to develop its full flavor and reach the perfect tenderness. Don’t rush it. Fat side down first to render and baste the meat naturally. Rest before slicing against the grain.
• 🍽️ Al Horno (Oven-roasted): Roast at medium heat for a beautifully even cook. Simple seasoning — salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic — is all it needs.
• 🤩 Skillet seared: Perfect for individual portions. Sear on high heat and finish in the oven for a restaurant-quality result at home.

🔪 Pro tip: Always slice against the grain for the most tender bite.
