Grilled Tri-Tip with Oregon Herb Rub

“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 was delicious and our guests raved. The only criticism we had is that it did not serve as many as the recipe stated. There were 8 of us and there was just enough for us to eat sparingly. (Fortunately, we also grilled fish so everyone had enough to eat.)

This is an excellent rub for tri tip! I did sub thyme for rosemary-didn't have on hand-and only refrigerated for 3 hours but it was very tasty & tender. I especially like the method given for grilling. I've never used indirect grilling and it is the perfect method for tri tip.

I first had a Tri Tip when I was visiting my sister in San Diego and have been searching for something close to make at home; I was delighted to find this recipe because it is fantastic! The rub is great, but I did make 2 small adjustments. I cut the salt in half (it was a little too salty the first time around) and I added 1/4 tsp of Oregano. I've made it several times for large groups and it is always a huge hit. Thanks for sharing!

Perfect blend, very flavorful! The next time I make it I will triple it or more, and use it frequently. LOVED IT!

I used this on a tri tip roast but the weather wasn't so great so instead of grilling, I seared in olive oil and then roasted at 325 in the oven till done (about 1hr.15min.). I reserved a bit of the seasoning to sprinkle on to the roast after searing. It was really good. I will use again in the summer when we are grilling more.

This was great. The rub is delicious. I smoked it about 3 1/2 hours. I'm going to cut that down to 3 hours next time. Meat came out medium, but was still very moist.

The meat came out nice and the rub was good. I will continue to look for a better dry rub.
