The Legacy of Santa Barbara Tri-Tip: A Central Coast Culinary Tradition
Santa Barbara tri-tip is more than just a local delicacy; it’s a celebrated icon of California’s Central Coast culinary heritage. This unique triangular cut of beef, sourced from the bottom sirloin, was largely unknown outside California until the mid-20th century. Once considered a lesser cut, often relegated to ground beef or stew meat, tri-tip has since risen to prominence as a signature dish of Santa Maria-style barbecue.
