I have loved tri-tip (bottom sirloin) since my father-in-law introduced me to it in Santa Barbara. Tri-tip is a cut of meat that first became popular in Santa Maria, on the central coast of California. I love the taste of the original Santa Maria rub, but this Oregon rub is even better.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt

  • ½ teaspoon celery salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon dried dill

  • ¼ teaspoon dried sage

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary

  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) beef tri-tip roast

Directions

  1. Combine salt, garlic salt, celery salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, dill, sage, and rosemary in a bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.

  2. Lightly moisten roast with water using a damp towel, then pat with prepared rub. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, up to overnight, for the flavors to fully come together.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.

  4. Sear roast on the preheated grill until brown on all sides, then remove from grill. Reset the grill for indirect medium-low heat (if using charcoal, move coals to the outside edges of the grill pit).

  5. Return roast to the grill; cook, turning occasionally, until desired degree of doneness reached, about 1 1/2 hours for medium-well. Remove from the grill and cover with aluminum foil. Rest 10 minutes before carving against the grain into thin slices to serve.
