What is the difference between regular steak and tri-tip steak?

My dad is going to barbecue tri-tip steak tonight for dinner. Is there any difference between tri-tip steak and regular steak or are they both the same?

1. Steak refers to any slab of beef (or meat) cut into a steak. Tri-tip steak is cut from the tri-tip. The better steaks are from more tender cuts of beef... From the rib... you have ribeye . From the loin... you have a strip loin (or NY strip), filet mignon, T-bone and the Porterhouse... etc Then you have less tender cuts of beef that are made into steaks... Chuck steak Round steak My point is that steak can be from anywhere. The name tells you what part of the steer it came from.
