GRILLED OR OVEN-ROASTED SANTA MARIA TRI-TIP
You might need to ask your butcher (assuming you have one) or even a store meat manager to order in a tri-tip roast. Two pounds is a good size, but if you come across a larger one, by all means grab it as the extra meat makes amazing sandwiches. The trick is to carve the tri-tip against the grain, which can change directions in this cut. So before you rub it and roast it, take a look at the raw meat and see which direction the long strands of muscle fiber are running on each part of the roast. After the roast has been cooked, and it has rested for 15 minutes or so, slice the roast in two at the place where the fibers change direction. Carve each piece separately.

Steps:
- Trim silver skin. The meat may have a thick layer of fat, some of which can be sliced off, but keep a good amount to help baste meat.
- Sprinkle meat with rub and massage lightly all over. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour or as long as overnight. Remove from refrigerator an hour before cooking.
- Prepare charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Place roast on grill and sear one side well, 6 to 8 minutes, checking for flare-ups. Turn the roast and sear other side for about the same time. Then lower gas to medium-high or move the meat to a cooler part of the charcoal grill.
- Turn meat again and cook another 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook again. A 2-pound roast will require about 20 to 25 minutes total cooking time. The roast is ready when an instant-read thermometer reaches 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
- Rest roast on a cutting board 10 to 20 minutes. Slice against the grain. The roast is shaped like a boomerang, so either cut it in half at the center of the angle, or slice against the grain on one side, turn the roast and slice against the grain on the other side.

Steps:
- Start a day ahead of time. Trim all the silverskin from the meat if necessary, then rub the paprika, black pepper, and chipotle chile pepper all over the meat.
- Wrap the meat tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a day, so the flavors can penetrate the beef.
- Ninety minutes before you plan to cook the meat, take it out of the refrigerator. You may skip this if absolutely essential, but the meat will not be as moist (see notes).
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season very generously with salt on all sides. I usually do about 2 tsp total.
- Add enough tallow or oil to coat the bottom of a large cast-iron skillet, and heat over medium high heat. When the fat shimmers, sear the meat for 2 minutes on the first side, until golden brown. Turn the meat over, then sear for 1 minute. For the most even cooking, transfer the meat to a wire rack, otherwise, simply transfer the entire skillet to the oven.
- Roast the beef for 35-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 125 degrees F.
- Remove the meat to a rack or board, and let rest for 30 minutes before slicing, loosely tented with foil, so the juices can redistribute. Cut into thin slices and enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine the granulated garlic and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Mince the garlic and slowly incorporate the salt and sugar, alternating, to create a paste. Add the Achiote Oil and mix well. Be careful, this oil will stain.
- Rinse and pat dry the roast and rub with the garlic paste, evenly coating the meat. Sprinkle evenly with the granulated garlic and pepper mixture and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
- Remove the wrap and allow the roast to rest while you preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook for 9 minutes, turn, repeat and check the temperature. Once 90 degrees F is achieved, turn the middle burner to high and sear all sides of the roast. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
- Slice across the grain in thin (1/8-inch) pieces, drizzle any juices that have accumulated back onto the sliced meat and serve immediately.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the seeds and toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the oil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. The oil will become bright orange. Immediately remove from the heat, cool and strain. Store the oil in a glass container in the refrigerator. The oil will keep for several months.

OVEN ROASTED TRI-TIP ROAST RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Prepare the Santa Maria Rub and pat it into the meat on both sides, and let it it stand at room temperature for 2 hours if you are cooking it right away. If not, you may leave it in the fridge covered overnight. Just bring it to room temperature before cooking. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place tri-tip in a roasting pan with a rack and place in hot oven, and roast to your preference. Check internal temperature after 20 minutes. It should be blood rare. That is too rare for us, so I roasted it for 30 minutes (140 degrees). Tent the meat loosely while you make the pan sauce. Place the pan you roasted the meat in over the burner, add the garlic, stir for 1 minute, add stock, wine, and any herbs. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the sauce slightly, then whisk in the mustard and taste it for salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the sliced meat and serve immediately. NOTE: This is a lean cut of meat which means that sometimes there are no pan drippings, so put a pat of butter in the pan, add the wine and the rest of the ingredients. It will still pick up the flavor. Allow the meat to stand for 15 minutes before carving. Carve by slicing the meat into thin slices across the grain. After roasting 30 minutes, mine was medium rare in the center when I carved it. Perfect when the pan sauce was poured over it. Serve immediately. Makes great sandwiches the next day.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients other than meat into a blender. Puree until the bits are very small.
- Put the meat into a 1-gallon freezer baggie. Pour the marinade into the baggie. Remove as much air as possible when you close the baggie.
- Refrigerate overnight. I place the baggie int a leak-proof dish to prevent spills.
- The next day --.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees f.
- Place marinated tritip on a roasting rack.
- Roast for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees f.
- Roast for an additional 45 minutes, or until internal temperature of the roast is 135 degrees (medium-rare).
- Remove from oven (don't forget to turn off the oven, like me). Let it sit for 10 minutes. The roast will continue cooking to a very nice medium.
- Slice thinly across the grain to serve.
- I have also tried this on the grill. In order to cook this correctly, place all the charcoal to one side of your grill. Sear the tri-tip on the hot side, about 3-4 minutes per side, in order to get some nice sear marking, then move it to the cool side. close the cover and open the vents. Open the cover about 45 minutes later.

ALL-PURPOSE CALIFORNIA BEEF RUB
A good rub makes grilling or roasting easy. This one combines the best of the salt-pepper-garlic notes of Santa Maria-style barbecue with the depth of coffee and clove. Diners will be hard-pressed to place its complex flavor until you tell them the components. The rub is easy to double and keeps for a long time in a jar or a zipper-lock bag. It should stay on the meat for at least two hours, but overnight is best.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Meat: Opt for a tri-tip roast that is firm to the touch and has a good amount of marbling.
- Prepare the Marinade: Use a flavorful marinade made with olive oil, red wine, garlic, herbs, and spices. Allow the tri-tip to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight to enhance its flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Ensure that your oven is preheated to the desired temperature before roasting the tri-tip. This helps to create a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
- Roast the Tri-Tip: Place the marinated tri-tip on a roasting rack in a baking pan. Roast it in the preheated oven for the specified amount of time, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Let the Tri-Tip Rest: Once the tri-tip is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
- Serve with Suggested Sides: Complement the tri-tip with suggested side dishes such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a refreshing salad. You can also serve it with your favorite dipping sauce or chimichurri.
