In the aforementioned newsletter, I talk about the history of the tri-tip, also known as Santa Maria steak.
There are even specific rules you have to abide if you want to truly call it “Santa Maria barbecue.” The tri-tip has to be cooked over coast live oak (also known as red oak, but is not the same as the red oak you’d find in Texas), and preferably rubbed with Santa Maria seasoning; salt, pepper and garlic salt. Served with a side of pinquito beans, a bean that was originally brought from Mexico and now widely grown in the California Central Coast, but became Santa Maria tri-tip’s quintessential companion.
