Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup Fresh Thyme
  • 2 Tablespoons Coarse Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Coarse Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Garlic

See our Beef Temperature Chart for helpful tips on cooking any cut of beef!

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine minced fresh garlic, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and fresh thyme.
  • Whisk ingredients until fully blended.
  • Store until ready to use.

Notes

  • This is enough seasoning for a 5 pound tri-tip.
  • I like to store my tri-tip rub in a mason jar, which I can leave right in my pantry for quick access when I need a seasoning blend!
  • When using dried herbs or spices, always check the expiration date. The fresher the herbs, the more intense the flavors will be.
  • Be sure to give your rub time to work into the meat, this is not a step you want to skip!
For best flavor, use fresh minced garlic as well as granulated garlic. Both add a depth of flavor to the seasoning blend. To use fresh garlic with the rub, simply mince fresh garlic and either apply it to the steak as it's cooking or reverse sear the steak in garlic butter.
