New Tri Tip Recipe with Salsa

[Rich Dahl]

Barb and I really like tri tips and around here we find them in the dog food section all the time. Although after seeing the picanha that Robert R posted I may change my mind about what’s number one…If I can find it here.
Anyway I was cruising through some Weber books and found a tri tip recipe we haven’t tried in the Weber’s Big Book of Grilling called Smoked Santa Maria Tri Tip.
It has a rub and a salsa that sounded like a very different way to serve tri tip.
Used red oak for the smoke.
Barb grilled up some zucchini and red potatoes for the sides.
The rub was pretty basic but did add a lot of flavor and a little bite to the meat, but the salsa was outstanding we even used it on some scrambled eggs the next morning and found it was also excellent with tortilla chips.
This one is a keeper especially the salsa.

Everything looks super you two!
That would be a great cook for Cinco de Mayo, just add some cold ones.

Looks similar to these from Raichlen, I've done this recipe several times, and I have to agree with you and the others, salsa make everything better! These recipes are the reason that Tri-tip is my all time favorite cut to BBQ. I will be trying your version of this next!
