SANTA MARIA GRILLED TRI-TIP BEEF
The town of Santa Maria, California, is home to one of America's most delicious barbecue specialties: black-on-the-outside, pink-on-the-inside, grilled beef tri-tip steak. The tri-tip is cut from the bottom sirloin, and if cooked properly produces a very flavorful, extremely juicy piece of beef.

Steps:
- Stir salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, rosemary, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Place beef in a glass baking dish and coat beef on all sides with spice mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Combine vinegar, vegetable oil, crushed garlic, and Dijon mustard together in a sealable container. Cover the container and shake to blend ingredients.
- Remove beef from refrigerator, uncover, and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Place meat on preheated grill and brush with garlic-vinegar mixture. Cook meat for 4 minutes, flip, and baste. Repeat the flip and baste process every 4 minutes until beef starts to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 25 to 30 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.

Steps:
- Combine the granulated garlic and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Mince the garlic and slowly incorporate the salt and sugar, alternating, to create a paste. Add the Achiote Oil and mix well. Be careful, this oil will stain.
- Rinse and pat dry the roast and rub with the garlic paste, evenly coating the meat. Sprinkle evenly with the granulated garlic and pepper mixture and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
- Remove the wrap and allow the roast to rest while you preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook for 9 minutes, turn, repeat and check the temperature. Once 90 degrees F is achieved, turn the middle burner to high and sear all sides of the roast. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
- Slice across the grain in thin (1/8-inch) pieces, drizzle any juices that have accumulated back onto the sliced meat and serve immediately.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the seeds and toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. The oil will become bright orange. Immediately remove from the heat, cool and strain. Store the oil in a glass container in the refrigerator. The oil will keep for several months.
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.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients other than meat into a blender. Puree until the bits are very small.
- Put the meat into a 1-gallon freezer baggie. Pour the marinade into the baggie. Remove as much air as possible when you close the baggie.
- Refrigerate overnight. I place the baggie int a leak-proof dish to prevent spills.
- The next day --.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees f.
- Place marinated tritip on a roasting rack.
- Roast for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees f.
- Roast for an additional 45 minutes, or until internal temperature of the roast is 135 degrees (medium-rare).
- Remove from oven (don't forget to turn off the oven, like me). Let it sit for 10 minutes. The roast will continue cooking to a very nice medium.
- Slice thinly across the grain to serve.
- I have also tried this on the grill. In order to cook this correctly, place all the charcoal to one side of your grill. Sear the tri-tip on the hot side, about 3-4 minutes per side, in order to get some nice sear marking, then move it to the cool side. close the cover and open the vents. Open the cover about 45 minutes later.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Tri-tip is the traditional cut for Santa Maria-style barbecue, but you can also use flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, or a more complex marinade with herbs and spices.
- Cook the meat over a hot fire: The key to getting a good sear on the meat is to cook it over a hot fire. If you are using a grill, heat the coals or gas burners to high heat before cooking the meat.
- Don't overcook the meat: Tri-tip is a relatively thin cut of meat, so it is important to not overcook it. Cook the meat for 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 8-10 minutes per side for medium.
- Let the meat rest before slicing: After cooking the meat, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Santa Maria-style barbecue is a delicious and easy way to cook tri-tip. By following these tips, you can make sure that your tri-tip is cooked to perfection. So fire up the grill or oven and enjoy this classic California barbecue dish!
