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. Tri tip is a flavorful cut of meat that really shines when it is slow grill-roasted or smoked. Great with a green salad or layered onto French bread for a juicy beef sandwich.

This is amazing. We tried this a couple weeks ago and had some of our family over, we all got hooked. Even my little one loved it. I just stocked up the freezer with more tri-tip and we're having it again tonight. So delicious.

I have made this several times and it is always a big hit. The only change I make is to use garlic power rather than garlic salt. This is a super recipe - LOVE IT>

Wow this was delicious! I followed the directions perfectly and was surprised at how tasty it is! I was also surprised at how tender this typically tough piece of meat was. We took the leftovers and chopped them up, added some bbq sauce and made sandwiches the next day. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry but.....Waayyy too much salt as written. And we didn't really care for the herb-y flavor. Think we'll stick with our typical seasonings -- similar to this, but tons more garlic, and nothing "green".

WAY TO SALTY.... I marinated my piece of tri-tip for 6 hours. OMG I was in shock how salty this ended up. I had to cut the edges of my meat of just to salvage of of my meat. Very disappointed. Im willing to try this again, just add a little salt and maybe garlic powder instead of garlic salt??

This is A+. I like it so much I keep a mason jar full of the rub in my kitchen. I have even used it on Salmon. For my next trick I want to try marinating it in a vacuum sealed container. I have heard that allows the meat to absorb more of the spices.

The rub was good, but unfortunately, I did not taste much of it once the meat was cooked, even though I let it sit overnight in the fridge.

Can I just say, oh my goodness. This was delicious, mouth watering actually. What a great and easy recipe! Instead of using water, we dipped in soy sauce, we packed on the spices, one of the tri-tips we stuffed with garlic cloves. We only had to cook for about 1hr, about 30min on each side, browned it first for about 10min on all sides. Then moved both pieces to the center of the grill and turned the outside burners to low. The meat kept moist, even the next day. We will use this recipe again for sure!!!!

This was great! I used garlic powder, instead of garlic salt, but kept everything else the same. It was so tender and very tasty. Next time, I may cut back on the salt even more since we try to watch our sodium intake. Can't wait until we get another tri-tip.

After reading reviews, I wasn't too sure about it. We usually use a package marinade or the classic, a Santa Maria rub. We liked the flavor of this rub. Very tasty and perfect for tri-tip. I would not add the spice+salt combinations, I would just add the spice and keep the salt the same. I used Kosher salt. Also used celery seed. I wrapped the meat in saran wrap and kept in fridge for just 5 hours. My first time grilling and it came out nice and tasty(hubby's the grill master and I got an approval)

This is one of my new favorite recipes from this site! I cut back the salt a bit and didn't regret it. No sauce needed on this steak! The leftovers will be great in salad and wraps :)

This Tri Tip is AAA excellent. I cut back on the salt and added brown sugar and marinated 7 hours. Followed the cooking instructions and browned all sides the first 15 minutes then moved meat to low side of grill. Slow cooked covered for 1 hour then let rest. The best I have ever tasted. Special Note Be sure to cut against the grain. Check out on-line videos how to cut a tri tip if you have questions. Cutting the tri tip correctly is VERY important. Thanks for a great one.

This is the first time I have ever cooked tri-tip. It came out very tasty. I doubled the dry rub. I rubbed the first batch on when I browned the tri-tip and then I added the second batch when I put it in the oven. I also added some water with beef bouillion. I am so not a cook, because it came out way too salty. I will stick to one batch of dry rub next time. Thanks!
