Recipe: Perfect Rubbed Tri-tip

Rubbed Tri-tip. My Spice Rubbed Grilled Tri Tip is the best ever recipe for Tri Tip on the grill. This is a simple tri-tip rub recipe straight from a barbeque in Santa Maria. Rich with beef flavor, this recipe is one to make midweek or weekend.

Smoked Dry Rubbed Tri Tip Steak - Over the last few decades I've cooked and been part of cooking hundreds if not thousands of Tri Tips either at home, on the road with my RV, and as a member of the Ripon Quarterback Club serving Tri Tip sandwiches at the local high school home football games. I used your Coffee Rub on my tri tip and it worked so well together. I followed the recipe (and I also dry salt brined the meat over night beforehand), and it turned out fantastic! You can cook Rubbed Tri-tip using 9 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Ingredients of Rubbed Tri-tip

1. Prepare 2 lb of Cut of Rump Skirt.
2. Prepare 2 Tablespoons of Rosemary.
3. Prepare 2 Tablespoons of Thyme.
4. Prepare 2 Tablespoons of Onion powder (you can replace it with 1/4 of chopped onion, very small).
5. You need 2 Tablespoons of Garlic Powder (you can replace it with 2 tablespoons of minced garlic).
6. Prepare 2 Tablespoons of Cayenne Pepper.
7. You need 2 Tablespoons of Paprika.
8. It's 2 Tablespoons of Black Pepper.
9. You need 2 Tablespoons of Hymalayan Pink Salt (You can use regular grilling salt, the thick one).

I made this yesterday following your recipe using salt, pepper and garlic powder. I was really skeptical when I took. Tri-tip is a California central coast specialty, claimed to have been first introduced in the Santa Maria area. This recipe adds dill, sage, and rosemary to the basic Santa Maria recipe.

Rubbed Tri-tip step by step

1. Lay the rump skirt on a teflon tray..
2. Mix the rosemary, thyme, paprika, garlic, onion, cayenne and black pepper in a bowl to prepare the rub..
3. Spread the rub over the rump skirt. Make sure you use it all..
4. Salt the rump skirt. If your cut comes with the fat, it is better to put a lot of salt on the fat's side and less salt on the other side when you flip it. Don't worry about putting extra salt on the fat as it will be permeated to the meat evenly. If you have a lean cut, spread the salt equally on both sides..
5. In this opportunity we roasted our beef in a Chinese Oven. This is a technique we use a lot because it allows you to slow cook the meat and get a fall-of-the-bone texture. Light the charcoal..
6. Lay the rump skirt inside the chinese oven and roast it for one hour..
7. Flip the rump skirt and roast it for another hour..
8. Serve and enjoy!.

The flavorful cut of meat really shines when it is grilled or smoked. Great with a green salad or layered onto French bread for a juicy beef sandwich. The best rub I've ever made. I tried the Tri Tip Coffee Brine and used the Texas Rub. So I decided to slice them up into bit size pieces and pan fry in a cast iron skillet to reheat, fried up some corn tortillas to make homemade taco shells and ate some of the best tacos I ever put in my mouth.
