| Ingredients: | 1 three pound tri-tip roast
Seasoning Salt Mixture:
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoon granulated garlic
2 tablespoon salt, coarse, Sea Salt
Basting Sauce:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup garlic-infused vegetable oil |
| Instructions: | 1. Whisk together vinegar and oil in a small bowl.
2. Coat both sides of the tri-tip roasts with the seasoning mixture, rubbing it in as you would a dry rub. Let the seasoned tri-tip rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Sear each side of the tri-tip at 600 to 700* for 3 to 4 minutes each. Remove seared tri-tip from the BGE, cover it with foil and let it rest while bringing the BGE temperature down to 350 to 400 degrees. During this cool down period I usually toss in a couple of oak chunks. Put tri-tip back in the BGE and cook to an internal temperature of 126* for medium rare, basting with the sauce every 5 to 10 minutes. Remove tri-tip from the BGE, cover it with foil and let it rest 15 minutes. Cut into 1/4 - 1/2” slices against the grain.
3. Garlic-infused Olive Oil: 1/2 c olive oil & 4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic. Gently heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant but not colored, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Cover and let steep for 1 hour.

5. I usually cook this on a Large BGE and find it takes 1 hour and 10 minutes from the time I strike the match to taking the tri-tip out of the BGE. |
| Notes: | From Morro Bay Rich: This recipe is from Foodnetwork.com’s website. It is titled “Santa Maria Style BBQ” Oakwood Grilled Tri-tip. It is as close to authentic Santa Maria tri-tip as I have been able to find. |
