THE place to get tri-tips is at the big HEBs. $5.77# this week
they usually have a pretty good selection to pick from
the normal tr-tip is 2½#s+
I was digging through all the ones in the cooler and came across 3 that were under 2#s
I bought all 3 because i normally only cook for me and the wife

taters were butter, sour cream & grated colby-jack when i did the mash

what Seasoning do you use?

I lost my recipe for Santa Maria seasoning.

what Seasoning do you use?

I lost my recipe for Santa Maria seasoning.

Santa Maria rub is equal parts kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.

I don't like that flavor so I make a modified one that's 3 parts kosher salt, 2 parts cracked black pepper, and 1 part garlic powder.
