The Rub Co. - Santa Maria Style is like garlic salt on steroids. The Rub Co. - Santa Maria Style is the #1 seller for The Rib Co and the claim is that it is great on EVERYTHING! Exceptional on tri-tip! Below many people will speak to the fact that The Rub Co. - Santa Maria Style is excellent on Tri-tip and therefore an excellent candidate for seasoning beef. We tried it for the first time on a roasted chicken, put a light coat of olive oil on it and then seasoned it up with The Rub Co. - Santa Maria Style and it was delicious. Let the chicken taste through and gave it a perfect blend of spice and flavor. Most rubs that contain salt are sometimes overpowered with salt, but the blend here speaks for itself!
