Santa Maria style Tri tip, Garlic bread and beans 4 grandsons 1st b day.

[flatbroke]

I had the opportunity to cook for a small gathering celebrating my youngest grandsons first birthday and wanted to share. I’m not as accomplished a cook nor as verbose as a lot of you here but nobody went away hungry or sick so it was a win win. I cheated and started a coal bed with kingsford for the sake of time. Then added oak wood to cook.
Trimmed the meat that needed it and placed them on when ready. Im not a golfer but the clubs come in handy for saving arm hair when flipping meat over a hot fire.

after they were starting to come off I added French bread which I had buttered with 50/50 butter and margarine plus some grated Parmesan cheese. Cooked those wrapped for a while before browning on grate.
Had a pretty good pot of beans everyone seemed to love. Thanks for looking.

Forgot to add the best pics of all. Must be old age.

Thank you. People wanted the bean recipe but it was almost as secret as the elusive peachey Rub.

I call BS on not being an accomplished cook. You knocked that out of the park. Lots of tasty food there. The addition of golf club proves your a pro.

Great looking meal for the celebration. I had a Navy buddy from Santa Maria who lived in the San Fernando Valley who built a pit in his backyard EXACTLY like yours. It generated a lot of smiles, as yours did too, I'm sure.
