Santa Maria Seasoning

tbsp sea salt

tbsp black pepper

paprika

rosemary ((minced))

garlic powder

onion powder

cayenne pepper ((optional))

Measure out the following spices: salt, black pepper, paprika, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.

Add all the spices into a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.

Rub all over a tri-tip roast, pork ribs, or seafood, and smoke or grill.

If not using the Santa Maria Seasoning right away, store it in an airtight jar for later use.

Best rub I’ve ever  used for tri tip.  I’ve got my whole family using this.  Amazing 🤩

Excellent. I did a quick search for the run when the NYT Cooking site did not leave a recipe. I had a bottle of the rub in my hands at the store. I realized I had all the ingredients at home. Put it together in 5 minutes, marinated it in plastic wrap at room temperature for an hour. A two-pound tri-tip was finished by two discerning teenagers and my wife. Everyone was happy with it. I did cut the cayenne down to 1/4 teaspoon and used a tablespoon of dry rosemary instead of fresh.

We rubbed a tri-tip with this recipe and smoked it on our Traeger. Simply put... Best tri-tip I've ever had!!! A little secret though, we doubled the cayenne. This is one for the record books! Thanks Hilda.

This is another great rub/seasoning combo mix that’s fantastic!  Really all of your spice mixtures and rubs are.  Plus most people would have these spices in the cupboard already.
