PIN FOR LATER
I just had some delicious tri-tip from the Santa Maria region so I'm feeling inspired. I'm also not much of a griller so my version is being made in the air fryer. The air fryer has been my go-to grill replacement so far this summer.
What Is Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip?
Tri–tip is a triangular cut of beef from the bottom sirloin sub primal cut. It gets its name from its triangular shape. Tri-tip is a staple in Santa Maria (Central California) BBQ but outside the region. Tri-tip became a Santa Maria, CA specialty back in the late 1950s. It's seasoned with basic spices and then usually grilled over red oak wood or smoked. Outside of Central California, tri-tip can sometimes be hard to find. If you don't see tri-tip in your local grocery store, you should be able to find it at a butcher.
A Simple Seasoning
A traditional Santa Maria style tri-tip only contains simple seasonings like salt, pepper, & garlic powder so that's what I used as my base. I then added a pinch of onion powder & paprika. If you have a favorite tri-tip seasoning you want to use, feel free to substitute it in place of this homemade seasoning blend.

What Is An Air Fryer?
What is an air fryer exactly? The name air fryer is a little bit confusing, because when you cook food in your air fryer you aren't actually frying it. An air fryer cooks your food by circulating hot air around the food at a very high-speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy 'fried' layer. This is called convection so your air fryer is actually a small countertop convection oven. An air fryer can help you cook your food faster while still getting a nice baked or fried texture on the outside, all with a very small amount of oil. Air fryers come in a variety of different sizes and styles. What you see here in the pics is a 5.8-quart air fryer.

How Long To Cook The Tri-Tip
How long you cook this air fryer tri-tip depends on a few factors. The main things to keep in mind when air frying tri-tip are: how well you like your beef cooked, how thick your tri-tip is, and how hot your your air fryer heats. At 400 degrees, the cook time should be anywhere between 14 to 18 minutes. If you have a food thermometer, this is a good time to use it.
