The Rocking P Way

Authentic Santa Maria style isn't about shortcuts. It's about three simple things.

01

Red Oak Wood

We strictly use indigenous Red Oak. It burns hot and clean, imparting a sweet, smoky flavor that defines the Santa Maria region.

02

Dry Rub

No sticky sauces hiding the meat. Just salt, pepper, and garlic in perfect ratios to let the quality of the cut shine through.

03

Open Fire

Cooking over an open pit allows us to control the heat precisely, searing the outside while keeping the inside tender.

FROM THE ROPING ARENA TO YOUR PLATE

Born in the Backyard.

It started in our family arena. After team roping practice, we'd throw a tri-tip on the grill over Red Oak wood. Friends stayed for the food as much as the roping.

When we moved to Redding, we brought that Central Coast tradition with us. Authentic Santa Maria style—simple dry rubs, red oak smoke, and fresh salsa. No shortcuts.
