Does anyone know what is in the Buckhorn Grill tri-tip rub?

[joshmill]

I recently had some tri-tip from the Buckhorn Grill and fell in love with that spice rub! If anyone knows what they use or how to make it, I'd love to know!

[Civil Bear]

From their website:

"The tri-tip is marinated and hand rubbed with a secret seasoning."

Good luck getting the recipe!

I haven't tried Buckhorn, but one of my favorite rubs on tri-tip is a Montreal type steak seasoning:

2 tablespoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
4 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons coarsely ground coriander seeds
4 teaspoons dill weed
4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Where is Buckhorn? At least what city :-)

Buckhorn is a small chain with locations in Sacto and SF (for example. they have a branch in the downtown SF Westfield mall food court).

I am not sure it is the same but there is something with a similar if not the same name in Embarcadero 4(?). It has never been open at 7:30 am on Saturdays.

[Malcolm Ruthven]

That is indeed Buckhorn Grill in Embarcadero 4 on the street level.

Not Buckhorn recipe, but one used for many years and loved. Tri tip steaks, coat with lemon -pepper seasoning, garlic powder, placed in a zip lock bag and add soy sauce. Let marinade over night. Bring to room temperature for at least 2 hrs. Grill at high, then grill steaks briefly on both sides. Yum.

Thanks, that might be the same as 100 Drumm St address.

[drewskiSF]

It's the same. I've seen it (same branding) and E4 is listed on their website locations page.

I don't know about the rub...but thought it's worth mentioning I heard Buckhorn is selling a whole tri-tip and sides for $15 bucks. Don't know the restrictions but that's cheap. Heard it on the radio.

That's 25% off the regular menu.
Buckhorn Platters served with red mashers, fire roasted veggies, bread & butter
Whole Tri-Tip $19.99

Thanks for the heads up. It's not easy for me to get there though so I'm still hoping someone can come through with the rub info!
