Wood Fired Tri-Tip and Pinquito Beans 

Eating Tri Tip & Pinquito’s all of my life being born and raised in Lompoc (Lompoke). That, chef Tom looks better than anything I’ve ever eaten. I’ve been cooking the same 2/3rds of my life & the yumminess going into that recipe admittedly is much more appealing than what went into my recipe until today… thank you for updating and making my food better!

probably the best moment I enjoy in every video is Chef Tom's face and the genuine reaction after he takes a bite.

I just cooked the beans featured in this video. I made a couple of adjustments in the seasonings based on what I had in my kitchen. FANTASTIC!! There is a lot of meat in the recipe. If you want it to be more "bean forward" you can dial back on the ham IMHO. I used dried beans and cooked them to about 75% and finished them in the broth for another hour or so. I'm eager to have them on the second, third day, etc. because these kinds of dishes always taste better later on.

Dam, those beans are the star of the show. Lots of great flavors holding hands.

Wow, crazy to see my hometown of Lompoc represented. Thanks Chef Tom!

Saludos from puerto vallarta jalisco México. Will try this recipe tomorrow with a few Coronas 🍺🍺 Thanks chef Tom.

You did not cheat on those beans, damn fine job....!!!

S&W actually sells canned Piquinto Beans under their Heirloom Series. I like to substitute Linguisa sausage or Keilbasa for the ham , sometimes a can of Rotel instead of plain canned diced tomatoes 👍

Oh my! I have no words.

Beauty in simplicity!!

I do love some Tri-Tip (has become my favorite cut over the last couple years), But! Those beans stole the show! I'll have to make do with navy beans, but the rest will be exactly the same. Thanks!

Awesome vid on pinquitos. Thanks!

Being a Santa Maria native, I’ll say chef John has done a nice job in the adaptation of the elements of SM style bbq.

Heck yea that’s my stuff! I grew up eating Tip in Cali. So good! 🔥🔥🔥

Mannn, that looks so good. Thanks Chef Tom & have a great holiday weekend.🍻

Hell yes yummoliscious

I love food

I think my favorite part of your videos is watching you take the first bite - lol.

Oh lord. Now I have to buy another Cattlemen’s seasoning lol.

Those tacos look killer! Going to give the beans a try next time I make tri tip

Another great cook for me to try! Thanks so much for the great bean recipe.

Don't let the name "tri-tip" of the rub restrict you to using it on that cut of meat. It has become my go-to seasoning for a lot of things including veggies and omelettes. It is FANTASTIC.

Those BEANS - Jesus. Flavor explosion.

Lom-poke 😃 our beans are the best

Lom-Poke, is how you pronounce it. It's a Chumash name.

Hi homies. Nice to see Lompoc(Lompoke) and Santa Maria on here. I was raised in Lompoc and lived from San Diego to Crescent City. No mater where you live, if you have Red Oak and Lompoc Pinquitos, you can enjoy Santa Maria Style BBQ! The smell will drive your neighbors crazy.

It’s pronounced Lom (like llama)-Poke and the only place in the world where pinquito beans are grown is in California’s Central Coast.

Two new Chef Tom rubs now, cool! When will they be added to the store?

I can smell the oak.

That's not how you pronounce lompoc 😂 love the video

Dude in East Coast we don’t have tri-tip is there anything we can use you would recommend/substitute

Where can I get that cast iron bean pot??? I'd be perfect for my Loaded Wichita!

Looks incredible. Could you also do a video on making rubs and maybe a plant-based no-meat option bean dish?

Can it really be called west coast Santa Maria style if it's nit cooked over mesquite wood?

Where is your cast iron pot from ?

I;m Thinking About Thos Beans

Just a quick FYI... It's 'Lom POKE' not Lom POCK...

Hi Tom, could you guys do a Pork Roll ? Searching for a recipe and can't find one I like but I'm sure you'd be able to kill it. Thanks!

Did you ever do anything with the reserved water from the beans? Or address why it was reserved?

Challenge and a question - I hearby challenge you to make bone-in pork steaks taste good... I don't think it's possible 😆 Also, any thoughts on the SNS kettle grill?

No mustache please

Where did you get that pot for the beans??? That’s !!! I definitely want one!

That's like a different con carne like heaps tasty 👍

Lompoc rhymes with yolk.

Hey chef Tom, I went to a bbq spot called post oaks bbq in Denver, CO based in TX. I was wondering if you would be able to make cowboy beans with smoked brisket? I love!! There version!!

So being born and raised in Santa Maria area you don't use white oak you use Pygmy oak or Red oak. The White oak just doesn't do it. Just for your information nobody uses white oak and Santa Maria

Santa Maria style pinquito beans are always my first choice for a side when I'm going to have a big BBQ for guests. It's just a fantastic way to boost the flavor of beans. In addition to the onion and garlic, I usually put a smoked ham hock in the beans while they are cooking.

When will the rub be available on the website?

Make so homemade tortilla to go with that and you’d be busting in your britches

Looks absolutely incredible! Your spicy level is much higher than mine. I’m curious, how many times do you make your recipes before filming them?

This is about to be the home cooking my grandkids will be talking about.

THOSE BEANS!!

I know that is absolutely delicious 🤤 🔥

Those beans look Great ! Gotta try.

Since I've been watching every video on this channel for years and also try to comment on each one appropriately, it's difficult not to repeat myself all the time to properly appreciate the respect for the great work of Chef Tom and the whole team 👍👍👍

Looks delicious, thanks for the great video

God damn son!!!

yee yee!

Thank you for calling it “Santa Maria style” as neither the seasoning nor the wood is correct for classic Santa Maria. It delicious any way you season it over an open fire tho! Well done!
