Santa Maria-Style Grilled Tri-Tip image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 beef tri-tip (2 to 2 1/2 pounds), preferably with some fat on one side

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.
