Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 Pound tri-tip roast trimmed

Santa Maria Style Seasoning

  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Preferably smoked
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper coarse
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt We use 1 tea fine kosher and 1 tea black sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • ½ teaspoon rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon turbinado sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder We use equal parts Chipotle and California

Basting Liquid

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • 2 garlic minced, cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning by combining the spices in a small bowl.
  2. Trim the tri-tip and make note of the waqy the grain is running so you cut it properly after it is cooked.
  3. Liberally apply the rub to both sides of the try tip and let set at room temperature for up to an hour while you prepare your grill.
  4. Combine the basting ingredients in a small bowl.

Cooking the Tri Tip

  1. Heat your grill or smoker to about 400 degrees. You will need the ability to cook over direct and indirect heat, or the ability to adjust the distance from the fire if using a Santa Maria Style grill.
  2. Grill the tri-tip over direct heat for 3 minutes. Baste with the basting liquid then flip the tri-tip. Repeat this process 3 more times until it has been grilled for about 12 minutes in total.
  3. Move the tri-tip to indirect heat or raise the grate height to decrease the heat reaching the meat. Continue to cook to desired doneness. For medium rare pull off at about 123-125 degrees. Pull at about 130 for medium.
  4. Wrap the tri-tip in foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
