Beef Ball Tip
« Thread Started on Feb 17, 2006, 12:35pm »

I've got a bag of Ball-Tip Bottom Sirloins. The Ball-Tip is part of the Bottom Sirloin, the other two parts being the Tri-Tip and the Flap Meat. You very rarely see the whole Ball-Tip in supermarkets, as they slice them into steaks and market them as Petite Sirloin Steaks and/or Sizzler Steaks.

This is what they look like from the top. Very little trimming is required.

And the bottom view. There is a small wedge of fat that should be removed before cooking, however it's not necessary. Notice how much the Ball-Tip resembles the face of a Round Sirloin Tip? This is where the Round is separated from the Sirloin on a cow. The Ball-Tip basically is an extension of the Round Tip Roast.

Here is the bottom view again after I've cut out the fat.

I've taken a little off the top, but not much. If you want to cut this into steaks, start about where the white lines are and cut against the grain about 1¼" inches thick. The steaks 'may' need marinating, but I prefer to cook the roast whole.

I've coated with Dale's Sauce and then a good rubbing of my steak rub (Kosher Salt, garlic, pepper and Turbinado Sugar)

[image]

These were cooked at approx 400° direct for about 15 minutes a side.

This is a little over cooked for me. Slice thin against the grain. You'll find it a very tender and tasty piece of meat.

I recently had a ball tip sandwhich at a local BBQ shop and it was killer. Being from Northern California we have tri tip all the time and love the new discovery of the ball tip cut. Seems to be a little more tender than the tri tip cut, which is always good, and I have to give credit to KindersBBQ in Tracy for the meat. I did mine with traditional Kinders marinade, sprinkled some brown sugar towards the end, and sliced it up for dinner. Next time I will use the trust Mansmiths dry rub and see how it comes out on the ball tip.

Yes, the Ball Tip makes killer sandwiches, either BBQ or Pit Beef style

I was driving through Brentwood in NorCal today and I stopped by Kinders Meats - Deli - BBQ at the recommendation of a local shoppe keep. I tried their famous ball tip sandwich with some of their utterly awesome BBQ sauce. Holy great tasting BBQ Sandwiches Batman! I'm from GA. and I'm very descriminative about what I consider good barbeque but this was top notch! Please do your taste buds a favor and stop for a sandwich whenever you happen to see a Kinders shoppe. You won't be disappointed. Their Ribeye sandwich was fantastic as well.
