A dry rub that I came up with, oh my oh my mouth watering.

you can experiment by adding or subracting ammounts to get flavors you like out of this rub...it is very versatile.
[img]http://000buck.d2g.com/dinner/dryrub.jpg[/img]

mix together
[img]http://000buck.d2g.com/dinner/dryrub-02.jpg[/img]

apply.  i keep it about 1/2-3/4 tablespoon per lb of meat, more it becomes way to salty and the women complain about bloating.
[img]http://000buck.d2g.com/dinner/tritip.jpg[/img]

the meat is cooked on a webber kettle bbq using indirect heat and over a pan of water.  I sear it for 4 min fatty side up directly over coals, then move it to indirect heat, and cook for a minimum of 35min(if you want it just flame kissed the way i like it) but i will go a little longer to please other family memebers who want some well done.

will post post dinner pics when its done

ya no need to tenderize tri-tip. bout 40-45 min and perfect. depending on the size of the cut
I wonder how much of a west coast thing this is. I guess Az guys know about it. What states is it known in? I know my Family in Virginia has no clue what it is

Its a cut of beef thats only found on the west coast. Cooked up bar-b-q style served with salsa and beans. its the perfect west coast meal

Beef isn't what I think of what I think of a west coast meal. Texas yes, CA no.

Regardless, [b]Buono Apetito! [/b]

I love tri-tip!

Tri tip is a California/west coast thing. When cooked right, it is a very tender and flavorful cut of meat. Over the years, it has become known in other states by people who either know someone from Ca, or have been there themselves. Santa Maria (my home town) is well known for the tri tip barbeque. Weather permitting, local clubs (GI Forum, VFW, Elks etc.) have parking lot BBQ for fund raisers. You know how on 4th of July and similar holidays, you can smell BBQ from dawn to dusk? It's like that all the time on the weekends, in Santa Maria.  freeride21a you got me home sick. They have tri tip in AZ but the cut isn't quite right. I'm still waiting for family to export some, over to me.

I have bought Tri Tip in CT, Shop Rite in New London carried it when I was there in 2000.

I can find it here in Colorado, most places. I have seen it in Costco and Sam's in KC

It is becoming mmore and more popular, but it is from CA[:(]

I like it sliced in to 1 1/2" wide strips for steaks.

My favorite steak out side of a well marbled ribeye.

mmm well marbled ribeye, my favorite.  a slight rub of maggi seasoning, and a dash or two of montreal steak seasoning, and a few hickory chips tossed on the coals.

Just put the tri tip on, im gonna cook it for 40-45min today.  Forgot to say, i throw hickory in with my beef, and apple and alder in with my chicken and fish...apple works good with pork too, for pork we use hickory, mesquite, or apple.

oh and here is a definition of  [url=http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=184814]california bbq[/url], all or one of the above :D

Cattle business is dying in Cali, but not dead.  My parents(and grandparents) still own the ranch I grew up on in NorCal.

Tri Tip is a good piece of meat...

I, however, stick mostly to Filet Minot.:D

Ditto on that. Homemade salsa is awesome, and actually pretty fun to make. Messy though.

Dude!
Tri tip, salsa, McKlintocks (how 'bout AJ Spurs in Solvang)!!

You guys are killin' me.  

I miss the BBQs with my pinoi (Filipino) friends. There was food everywhere. Tri tip, Adobo, Spanish rice, poncet, tacos/burritos, lumpia, salsa. Now I'm going to have to take a trip home to get my fix.
