Talk:Tri-tip

Santa Maria style tri-tip is generally seasoned with Susie-Q seasoning (salt, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder), not marinated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.135.151.16 (talk • contribs) 05:51, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Good point. I'd say that at present, most of the tri-tips sold in supermarkets are pre-packaged and marinated, in one of several styles ("steakhouse", "teriyaki", "hot & spicy", "barbecue", etc.), but the original is a dry seasoning rub as you note, which deserves a mention.

"preferred method"

"The preferred method is slow-smoking" would seem at odds with the fact that Santa Maria tri-tip is cooked by a grilling method.

Tri-Tip = Maminha

Tri-Tip, from the bottom of the loin, is the Brazilian equivalent of Maminha, not Picanha, which does come from the top.
