I did some Santa Maria style Tri-Tip on the BGE the other night using the reverse-sear method. It was a perfect evening for a little brew and que. Started by applying a basic Santa Maria style rub on both sides of meat. I cooked it low-n-slow over some lump and a few pecan chunks. When the internal temperature hit about 120, I pulled the meat off and superheated the grill. I finished the tri-tip by throwing it back on the fire until the internal temperature rose to about 135 and took it off for a little rest. The tri-tip was tender and super juicy. I just wish I had gotten more of a crust on it.

A little Brew and Que!

The finished product. I was surprised at how much juice stayed in the meat and didn't run out all over the pan.

That looks great, Moose! What spices are in a Santa Maria-style blend?

Tish...you have me confused with Boggster! To answer your question though, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders, basically.
 
Thanks, Moose! Sorry, boggster! It does look delicious. Is that a prepared blend, or did you make it yourself, boggster?
 
Thanks Tish! I put it together myself. Only live a couple hours from Santa Maria, CA so that style is really popular around here.

Ryan from The Rub Company makes an excellent Santa Maria rub if you want to try it. I just used it on the skirt steak I posted this am.
 
I have been trying to tell the wife we need to do a tri tip...this will seal the deal.

I second that Moose. I made my own for years until I tried Ryan's and have never turned back.

Great looking Tri-tip boggster!

Sounds like I need to put some of Ryan's rub on the Christmas list! Thanks for the recommendation.
