Cardiff Crack Tri Tip - 2 Pack
California’s cult-favorite tri tip, two roasts strong. USDA Choice tri tip from the bottom sirloin is trimmed and marinated in either the signature Burgundy Pepper or Spicy Chipotle, and each 3¼-pound roast arrives with a bottle of BBQ sauce for the table. Brothers Pete and John Najjar created the recipe in 1986 at Seaside Market, their family-owned grocery in Cardiff by the Sea, and its devoted following earned it the name Cardiff Crack. Perfect for a backyard barbecue, a tailgate, or a weekend of tri tip sandwiches. Grill it once, and you’ll understand the nickname.

Seaside Market

Cardiff by the Sea, CAIt's called Cardiff Crack for a reason. Seaside Market’s legendary Burgundy Pepper Tri Tip is so addictive it has attracted an intense cult following over the last thirty years. The recipe was created by brothers Pete and John Najjar in 1986, who were experimenting with different spices and marinades to create an ultimate, one-of-a-kind grilled product. Customers loved it so much they nicknamed it “Cardiff Crack.” Today, Seaside Market takes only USDA Choice, US-raised beef and places it in a special vacuum tumble process that allows the marinade to absorb fully. After an hour, the “crack” is ready for dealing… straight onto your grill and into your belly!
