How to Make Instant Pot Tri-Tip – Perfect for Beginners


For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com

I wasn’t introduced to Tri-tip until about 3 years ago. I didn’t realize what I was missing! It is a very juicy cut of meat that has become of my favorites!

Usually I grill Tri-tips but I was curious how it would do in the Instant Pot. I bought my tri-tips at Costco and it came with 2 of them for $23 dollars. That is cheaper than a roast!

So if you are curious how to make Instant Pot Tri-Tip, just follow along! It is so easy!

HOW DO YOU CUT A TRI-TIP?
When carving, the trick is to carve the tri-tip against the grain, which can change directions in this cut. To solve this, I recommend slicing the roast in two at the place where the fibers change direction, then carve each piece separately.

WHAT CUT OF BEEF IS A TRI-TIP?
If you’re not familiar with it, the tri-tip is a small, boneless, triangular cut from the sirloin. It usually weighs about 1 1/2-2 pounds. It resembles a thick, slightly lopsided boomerang that is laced throughout with just the right amount of marbled fat. Even though it’s a lean cut, the marbling contributes to its flavor and tenderness.

    Hey! I’m Cory. I’m a commercial fisherman from Texas but work in Alaska. I’m the designated cook on our boat. The instant pot is the safest and easiest way to cook on a rocking fishing vessel. It stays tied up and the lid lock are 2 of many reasons that this is my preferred method to cook on the boat, and thanks to you, back home as well. Your recipes are easy, excellent and made me a hero all summer and fall. Thank you so much!!!

    I LOVE Tri-Tip. Watching from Lodi, CA. Just got my instant pot 2 weeks ago, and it was one of your videos that encouraged me to do so. I've only cooked two meals so far (#3 will be the Tri-Tip tonight), and I think I love it.
