McCormick Grill Mates Chili Garlic Tri-Tip Seasoning – 2.37 oz | Bold BBQ Rub for Beef, Chicken, and Pork

Elevate your grill game with McCormick Grill Mates Chili Garlic Tri-Tip Seasoning

This bold blend joins chili pepper, black pepper, oregano, garlic, and brown sugar to amplify the aroma and depth of your favorite cuts. The tri-tip cut—a classic from Santa Maria–style barbecue—benefits from a seasoning that adds a savory crust and balanced heat without masking the meat’s natural character. Expect a welcoming bouquet as the rub meets the grill, followed by a confident, flavorful bite that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The seasoning is versatile enough for backyard grills, stovetop sears, oven roasts, or air fryer finishes, making weeknight dinners and weekend barbecues easier to plan.

Whether you’re a beef purist or cooking for a crowd, the blend offers a reliable foundation for flavor. The aroma, the crust, and the savory warmth come together to create a memorable experience that invites you to experiment with different proteins and cooking styles. It’s designed to be approachable: you can start with a simple steak and expand into chicken or pork, or use it as a quick flavor boost for vegetables or starches alongside your main course.

What you get in the bottle

• Bold seasoning with chili and black peppers, oregano, garlic, and brown sugar
• Gluten-free formula suitable for a wide range of pantry needs
• Shake-on convenience with a recommended 1 to 1.5 tablespoons per 1 pound of meat or poultry

Ways to use and enjoy

The aroma rises as you rub, and the spices crisply brown into a savory crust that complements the meat’s juices.

Use it as a starting point for your own twists, or keep it classic for dependable results that don’t require a long marination.
