Best Santa Maria Style Grilled Tri Tip Recipes
SANTA MARIA-STYLE GRILLED TRI-TIP
This style of cooking a triangular cut from the bottom sirloin comes from California's vaqueros, the Mexican cowboys who worked cattle in California's Central Valley in the 1800s. It's rubbed with lots of salt, pepper and garlic, then cooked relatively fast over red oak and traditionally served with pink beans called pinquintos.

Steps:
- In small bowl, mix garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley; rub well into meat. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, soak 2 cups red oak chips in water for at least 20 minutes (optional). Prepare a medium-size fire on one side of a charcoal or gas grill. Add chips to fire, if using. Set tri-tip over fire, fat side up (with a gas grill, close lid), and brown well, 3 to 5 minutes; turn over and brown other side.
- Move meat over area of the grill without fire, cover, and turn every 10 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 to 130 degrees, 25 to 35 minutes.
- Place meat on cutting board to rest at least 15 minutes. Slice across the grain.

"SANTA MARIA STYLE BBQ" OAKWOOD GRILLED TRI-TIP
Steps:
- Heat a grill to low.
- Coat both sides of the tri-tips with half of the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you would a dry rub. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Place the tri-tips over a low temperature fire, 1 with fat side up, and the other with fat side down. Turn as the first side gets crispy, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful of flare-ups, as the dripping fat will fuel the fire. Turn the tri-tips before the heat pushes juices out the top, and continue to turn using this timing method throughout the cooking process. After turning, baste with sauce and season lightly, 4 times per side. Continue turning until the tri-tips are cooked to your liking. Remove from fire and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into 1/2-inch slices against the grain.
- Mix together all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Whisk together vinegar and oil in a small bowl.
