This is not a traditional Santa Maria Style recipe, but a modern version using our spice and served with a chimichurri sauce.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons sea salt or oak smoked salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground cracked black pepper 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped fine
1/2 bag Timoteo's Santa Maria Style Rub
1 (2 1/2-3 pound) beef tri-tip roast
Step 1
Stir salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, rosemary, Timoteo's Santa Maria Style Rub together in a bowl.
Step 2
Place tri-tip in a glass baking dish and coat on all sides with spice mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Step 3
Remove tri-tip from the refrigerator. Let sit uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat; lightly oil the grates.
Step 5
Place tri-tip on the preheated grill. Cook for 5 minutes on one side and flip. Flip every 5 minutes until tri-tip starts to firm up and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 25 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
