Tri tip steaks are a triangular cut of meat from a beef sirloin that have rich flavor and are perfect for slicing up and serving with friends. Tri tips are especially popular on the west coast so we are sharing this santa maria tri tip steak recipe that uses a dry rub and high direct heat on the grill to make a perfectly crisp steak. We recommend cooking this steak at a higher temperature due to its larger size. By cooking at a higher temperature, you'll have a crispy outside and a medium rare inside. Since this is a sirloin steak, we don't recommend cooking beyond medium rare. Enjoy
