Rub for tri tip

We usually use Montreal Steal Seasoning. Simple garlic, salt, and pepper will work just fine as that cut of meat doesn't need much. Let us know what you decide to do.
 
I use Montreal, Lowery's, garlic powder, onion power,and course ground black pepper. Um good
 
Variations of:

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder - these are the basics (add crushed parsley if desired) - ratio is variable depending on personal taste.

optional:(premades) Montreal steak seasoning, SuzyQ's, Lindberg(Sniders), Rub Co's Santa Maria seasoning, Jocko's.
 
If I am trying to emulate Santa Maria style:
Equal parts kosher salt and medium grind black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 parts granulated garlic and onion
1/8 part dried citrus peel

When doing something a little more...
Simply Marvelous Sweet and Spicy is excellent
 
Salt and nothing else. Black pepper burns and gets a vitter taste imo. Seasoning is for after meat had been cooked over high heat.
 
Never had any bitter tastes. We sear a couple of minutes and then go indirect the rest of the time. We don't burn (at least intentionally) any thing in the rub. Try a few different ways and let us all know what works for you.
 
Last time I cooked them I used Simply Marv's Cherry. It was farkin awesome.:cool:
 
My version of the Santa Maria Rub: 3 tsp kosher salt, 2 tsp each of granulated garlic, crushed dried parsley and coarse black pepper. Reverse seared over red oak. Pretty much the only way I do tri-tip now days.
 
I cook tri-tip about once a week and I cook it only over oak and the best reaction I get is: Lawry's, Garlic Powder, LOTS of Black Pepper, Cumin and Paprika. I sometimes will throw on some brown sugar, it depends.
 
I use kosher salt, black pepper, granulated garlic and paprika. Sometimes I will add some sort of hot chili powder for some heat.
 
I just did one of them on saturday. I used coarse ground black pepper, kosher salt, granulated garlic, and cajun seasoning. Cooked over lump with a couple of chunks of hickory.
