We were just at Costco, I was given explicit instructions not to look at the meat counter.

Costco run now down to $23 for a round trip (200mi). No guarantee they would have any picanha meat though. Wonder if Tri-Tip would work in a pinch.......

Quasi-related, last time I made a tri-tip, I tasted it almost like a brisket. Into the smoker until it hit 165F, wrapped in butcher paper, then left until it reached 205F. My wife was skeptical (to say the least), but it was almost like eating a brisket, she said I could make it like that again.
Cool name... And somehow it reminds me of a panda. How can you go wrong?
That's so nice of her..
Holy cow, 200 miles.
I’m merely 9 miles round trip from my local one. No wonder why some folks tell me I literally live there since I go multiple times a week
I just love that warehouse
Yep you need to clue in to the rest of us who don't live in CT. Open your eyes a bit more......

Tri-tip and Picanha are both parts of the Sirloin. So cooking it to 205 is a waste of T&E as it has no fat really to render or break down like a brisket or chuck steak. Tri-Tip is basically a thick cut steak. Cook it rare to med-rare and pull it. Low and slow does not do anything to make it more tender really. Nothing to render fat wise.
I wonder if any other member here is that far from a “local” Costco. That most be a NM thing since you have all the land in the world compared to this midget state I live in.
3 hours round trip for me. Plus the time inside, and usually a $700 minimum 'cause I go twice a year.
The Costco cart truly is the most costly vehicle of all!
No, I rarely drink and drive.
Been waiting for them to build a Costco in the Santa fe (State capital and population ~150,000) area for 35 years now. There are 3 Costco warehouses in ABQ and that is it for the entire State. Sam's built a warehouse in Santa fe like 20 years ago but still no Costco love for all of northern NM.
BTW, gas is now down to $3.59/gal at the Costco in ABQ this AM.........

You might well be correct, but the number of pages found with a Google search that suggest it made me try it. I had always cooked it like a steak, but a few came out somewhat dry and tough, so I had to try something different. Also, depending on the butcher there can be a nice fat cap on it. I'm often willing to go against conventional wisdom to try something.

Me neither
Seriously I never do.
Those tumblers are on sale at Costco and seem like a good deal, even for drinking wine at the beach or pool.
We need to start pitching a petition for you Mike
.BTW- that’s the lowest gas price perhaps at any Costco. Yesterday I saw the sign at local one and it was still something like $4.09 I think
What would be the “typical” price for you, say like a year and/or two years ago? I’d like to have an idea comparing to what I remember used to be here.
We snagged a couple of those in Paso last year. They work well for keeping drinks cool out on the patio this time of year.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
I don't have those, but do have some similar ones from Amazon and a couple Yetis. They are especially nice for keeping whites and roses cool and are good for outside.
