TracNJack -- Do you have a recipe for Tri-Tip? I haven't had any since I left Vandenberg AFB back in 1995. We had cookouts all the time at work, and always had Tri-Tip, beans and garlic toast. MMMM!
 
Nelson,



Yes i do....:) but it is asecret... not on paper :)



I'll try to get something together :)



Can you get the Tritip cut where you are at? I hear that it is a hard cut of meat to find outside of California.



I recently had an original Sanata Barbra Tri tip expert (85 years old) tell me that mine was one of the best he has ever had!



key is the right meat, spices and slow cooking it in my smoker for two hours.. come out perfect.. melts in your mouth like a filet minon, yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :p
 
Here is an Authentic Sanata Maria style Tri recipe along with the beans and fixin's



Santa Maria Tri-Tip (and All the Fixin's)

2-3 lb. beef tri-tip roast or top sirloin



Rub tri-tip with Spice Rub and let stand 1-4 hours.



Use mesquite or oak chips on the grill. Grill over direct heat, medium-high. Brush on Basting Sauce as soon as you put it on the grill. Turn at least three times, basting every time. Grill 30-35 minutes, to 140 degrees F.



Slice thin, across the grain, and serve with warmed corn tortillas, a green salad, Salsa, and Pinquito Beans.





Spice Rub

1 Tbl. fresh-ground black pepper

2 tsp. granulated garlic

1 tsp. granulated onion

1-½ tsp. paprika

½ tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. rosemary

1 tsp. salt



Mix together and rub on meat. Let stand at 1-4 hours before grilling.







Basting Sauce

½ cup red wine vinegar

½ cup garlic-infused vegetable oil



Drizzle oil slowly into vinegar, whisking rapidly. Brush on meat as soon as you put it on the grill.







Santa Maria-Style Salsa



3 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped

½ cup finely chopped celery

½ cup chopped green onions

½ chopped sweet onion

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup finely chopped California green chiles

½ cup snipped cilantro

1 Tbl. red wine vinegar

dash of Worcestershire sauce

pinch of dried oregano, crushed

few drops of hot pepper sauce



Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and let stand for one hour to blend flavors. Makes 3-½ cups.







Santa Maria-Style Pinquito Beans



1 lb. small pink beans (Pinquitos) or pinto beans

2 strips bacon, diced

½ cup diced ham

½ onion

2-3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

¾ cup tomato puree

¼ cup red chili sauce

1 Tbl. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. dry mustard



Pick over beans to remove dirt and small stones; cover with water and let soak overnight in a large container. Drain, cover with fresh water and simmer 2 hours, or until tender (pintos may need longer). Sauté bacon and ham until lightly browned; add to beans. Sauté onions in bacon grease until lightly browned. Add garlic and sauté a minute or two longer. Add tomato puree, chili sauce, sugar, mustard, and salt. Drain most of liquid off beans and stir in sauce. Keep warm on low heat until ready to serve.











 
Way to go TracNJack. I was in the market for a new grill last year about this time, and settled on a stainless steel Jenn Air...and its been over a year now and I still love it.



Best thing I did was hook into the natural gas line and haven't had to refill a propane cylinder since:



 
Specs on the Grill:



Kirkland Signature Professional: Manufactured by Nexgrill

Model # 720-0193

7 Burners total:

4 main Burners

1 sear Burner

1 side Burner

1 Rotis. Burner



85k Btu



All 304 Stainless steel construction (very solid)

Hidden casters

Two storage Drawers, Tank Storage

Complete with Lighted Rotis. Motor



The price was more that I wanted to spend, But the quality of construction vs the others available was much better for the Price. Pluse on the old Cheaper grill we have had for 7 years, I have spent almost the cost of this grill in parts and repairs.



This grill has lifetime warranty on the burners!



Price $799.00 at costco
 
Working great!

TracNJack,



I never saw the recipe until today. Thank you very much. There is a butcher that goes to our church that owns his own butcher shop, so maybe I can get the cut from him. :)
