A classic BBQ recipe with a flavorful seasoning salt mixture and a tangy basting sauce.
Santa Maria Style BBQ Oakwood Grilled Tri-tip
Perfect for a summer cookout.
Ingredients
- 2 3-pound tri-tip roasts
Directions
- Heat a grill to low.
- Mix together all seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
- Mix together all basting sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- 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.
