Santa Maria BBQ

There is a kind of BBQ I recently learned about. It originates in Southern California cowboy culture, and it's called Santa Maria BBQ. It goes like this: tri-tip steak, cooked on a flame, pinquinto beans (not pinto beans, more related to pink beans) cooked with tomatoes and peppers and bacon and all that, and a big slab of garlic bread.

Well, my company for Christmas gave out spice boxes with lots of premixed spices, and one was for tri-tip and garlic bread, so we had a Santa Maria BBQ night!
