The East Coast is home to New England steak tips, which refer to marinated and grilled cuts of beef, often sold as roughly-hewn two-inch pieces.
Tri-tip steak, specific to the West Coast, is a triangular cut from the steer, seasoned simply and often grilled or roasted without marination.
New England steak tips were supposedly created by thrifty butchers as a way to market less-desirable beef cuts, gaining popularity in the 1960s and '70s.
While East Coast steak tips are typically marinated and pre-sliced, the West Coast's tri-tip is known for its fat marbling and simple seasoning.
