I like to use Pappy's Choice Seasoning for Santa Maria style Tri-tip. (Somebody gave me some years ago and I've been hooked every since.)You can use your favorite rub or just some Salt, Pepper, and garlic powder.Sear direct, close to coals, at very high temp for just a couple minutes per side.Pull off and let rest while egg cools down. Then direct with a raised grid, or indirect, at about 375 degrees until internal temp just gets to 135 degrees.Let it sit about 15 minutes before cutting and serving Just be sure to slice thin and across the grain (perpendicular)Yum!!Only hard part is finding a store with a butcher (or flunky meat manager) who knows what Tri-tip is, and will regularly stock it.
