Santa Maria Style BBQ for the rest of us
Retailer “Suzie Q’s” is trying to bring a little of the Santa Maria Style BBQ to everyone with their line up of seasonings, rubs, and wood chips.
The roots of Santa Maria Style Barbeque extend back to the mid 1800s, when vast ranches unfolded across the foothills of the valley. Ranchers would host Spanish-style barbeques each spring using indigenous ingredients. In the early 1900s, the “style” of the local barbeque was further refined by local social clubs, as well as the many European ranchers who settled the area.
Traditional Santa Maria Style Barbeque begins with top-block sirloin or tri- tip—a cut discovered in the Santa Maria Valley. The beef is seasoned with a special garlic, salt and pepper mixture, then grilled over coals of red oak—native to the region. The meat is accompanied by pinquito beans— small pink beans that are indigenous to the valley—as well as bread, salsa and dessert often featuring fresh strawberries.
At their website you can find everything you need to host your own Santa Maria style BBQ at home. From beans to wood chips!

Mrs. Dash No Salt Grilling Marinades
Mrs. Dash, famous for their salt free, MSG free, seasonings, has introduced a new line of marinades and seasonings aimed squarely at you, the health conscious griller. This line of 10-Minute Marinades is available in four flavors – Zesty Garlic Herb, Mesquite Grille, Lemon Herb Peppercorn, and Southwestern Chipotle. Personally, I think the Chipotle is the stand out, though the Southwest label is a it redundant. I mean, am I supposed to not confuse this with the “Midwest Chipotle”?
All of the marinades are of course salt and MSG free. They’ve also got a new line of “Grilling Blends”, special combinations of spices for Steak, Chicken, and Hamburgers and a “Mesquite” bbq simulation. Might want to look for these in your next trip to the grocery store.
