Why We Like the Certified Angus Beef Marinated Tri-Tip from Costco
First and foremost, the seasoning flavor is good, the cut of beef is good, and it’s a super meal shortcut for us on a busy day, or to add an additional protein option when we’re hosting a crowd….with literally almost zero additional time or effort!
We find it a little chewy when prepared as instructed on the packaging, but when you use a sous vide, that changes the whole game and it renders a delicious and tender tri-tip roast! While we often cook our steaks medium or medium rare, we think when it’s cooked a little longer on a lower temperature, that’s the golden ticket!
You can cook this Certified Angus Beef Steakhouse Marinated Tri-Tip from Costco right in the package it comes in using your sous vide. A home cooked dinner doesn’t get much easier than that!

Notes
By slow cooking the Steakhouse tri-tip for 7 hours, you'll really break down all the connective tissue, and it will render a texture comparable to beef tenderloin. If you prefer a more steak-like texture or don't have enough time, you can remove it earlier. After about 3-4 hours the tri-tip should be fully cooked, and after that it will get more and more tender.
