Ok that onion soup. This time I did not use any. Boy you have a good
memory.

Hmmm the slow slow method sounds great. It reminds me of the baby backs I
do on the smoker @ 250 for 6 hours or so.

Do try it sometime, Dimitri I think you'll like it. On the day I serve
it, I usually parboil small red potatoes, carrots, and boiler onions, then
toss in melted butter, salt, pepper, and maybe some herbs. I roast these
till they begin to brown, turning once.

I love baby backs cooked that way!

Since moving to the central coast I have been "experimenting" with the local
red oak. It really emparts a wonderful and very different flavor. All over
the area they cook over a live red oak fire.

Go here
http://www.santamaria.com/visit/sect.../barbecue.html
and click on the video.

"In the early 1960s Santa Marian’s noticed how much meat was being wasted
using the rib steaks, and felt that something should be done to lower food
costs. So they started experimenting with other cuts which would not be so
costly. As a result Top Block Sirloin was discovered.

In the mid-1960s, Santa Marian’s discovered the incredible taste of Tri-tip.

Before the mid 1960s, Tri-tip was practically considered scrap, not good for
anything other than stew meat or hamburger.
Tri-tip is a very good cut of meat; however, usually by the time you have
trimmed the excess fat, you will find it is more expensive than the Top
sirloin. "

Ah, the memories! I remember when my grandparents were living in Santa
Maria in the sixties. Grandma passed on her recipe for "Santa Maria
Steak" using a cheaper cut that became quite tender with the
marinating all day in soy or teriyaki sauce before hitting the grill.

It was an old grilling stand-by of mine for years and I kept the name
alive. Seems to me that the cheaper cuts back then were more tender
and flavorful than the regular or choice cuts we get these days. Am I
the only one that remembers meat like that?

My dad always grilled over a live oak fire, although not red oak. I always
loved the flavor.

I don't have a smoker, so I quasi-smoke on a gas grill with indirect heat
and a large packet of wet wood chips that get replenished throughout most
of the cooking time.

I love tri-tip roasts, but have never done one one the grill, just in the
oven. They are common to find in the stores here in AZ.

My favorite steak is still a rib steak, though, and always with the bone.
We often get some good buys on them at a local store here.
