I’ve been experimenting with my Santa Maria spice rub and learning what works and what doesn’t (so far I haven’t found anything that doesn’t work). This recipe was modeled after the Santa Maria Tri Tip Recipe and turned out just as delicious.
And do what I do and make a big batch of the spice mixture so all you have to do is sprinkle and smoke.
Enjoy!
