Tri-Tip Seasoning

blukat

Plan of cooking a tri-tip next weekend.  I was thinking about a Santa Maria seasoning.  Does anyone have a good recipe or other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

The last one I cooked I Montreal seasoning.  It came out pretty well.   I like a course ground rub with a little olive oil to coat it first.

Google it (Santa Maria tri tip)  I'm too lazy to do it, but it's really simple and standard.

Lots of other ways to seasons tri trip, but start there, that's the OG tri tip.

My last one I egged, I used BGE Cosmic Cow. Usually just use S&P and garlic. If this is your first one, keep it simple and enjoy the greatness of the tri-tip.

if your doing Tri Tip - Santa Maria style ... This is the way you do it. Rub with olive oil a very liberal amount of garlic, Lawry's seasoned salt, pepper.
.
Forward sear @ 600 degrees 4 minutes a side. Finished cook temp is 137. Pull, rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Devour.

Mickey s rub or somevariation. I do something like salt pepper garlic decaf espresso and a little chili powder. Outstanding. 

Edit @stemc33 brother stem has cooked a lot more tri tips than me so take his advice first! Tri tip is great stuff.

I like to marinade overnight in equal parts worcestershire sauce, Italian dressing, and about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of white Rum.  As for the rum part its whatever I feel like sparing!!

I concur^^^^^^^^^. However when I'm feeling brash and bold, I like to add just a dash of onion powder, cayenne and rosemary. Brother stems suggestion above is a proven winner.

I rub with my rib rub overnight   And cook indirect at 400. But everyone has their own way. Do what you like. Tri tip is hard to mess up unless you overcok

Thanks for all the great suggestions.  I will post what I end up doing.

Tri tip turned out very good, followed @SoCalTim directions.  Seared at 600 for 4 minutes per side then put in the plate setter and cooked at 300 until internal temperate got to 136.  Rubbed it with olive oil, salt, pepper and dizzy pig cow lick.  Next time I will stop it at 130, as we like it a little rarer.  I also threw on a seasoned skirt steak for tacos tomorrow, suppose to rain all day.

I hate it that everyone's eggin' tri-tip lately. Beefs too expensive and this cheap cuts only gonna go up if everyone continues to make it popular.  

Gotta give it five stars though because it's my favorite.
