Santa Maria Grilled Tri-Tip Beef

A Santa Maria tri-tip with a delicious spice rub is cooked on the grill until black-on-the-outside and perfectly pink inside for a spectacular steak. The tri-tip is cut from the bottom sirloin and when cooked properly, produces a very flavorful, incredibly juicy piece of beef. The town of Santa Maria, California, is home to this delicious barbecued beef specialty.
