    Disappointing as any kind of beans and tritip (and barely a recipe. I have done it while camping, but even then, made many changes/additions to this - and would never call it Santa Maria Style. Name needs to change.

    Bobby bobby, bobby, what were u thinking? Canned beans? I get the idea of jalapenos to add heat/spice, but vary it with the spices. Don't change a traditional unique dish. And only the local grown Santa Maria pinquito should be used, although if you can't order or find,.. pinto beans can substitute. use tapatio, pico/pico de gallo to add heat/flavor. U need to do a throwdown here and redeem this really bad try at a unique local dish.

    I am from Santa Maria and these are not Santa Maria style beans. We use pinquito beans, NOT ranch beans from a can. No tri tip in the beans. Maybe some ground beef, garlic, onion, chili powder and other things but definitely NO jalapenos. Come on people, please stop tarnishing the Santa Maria style BBQ name with all your wanna be tri tip and bean recipes. Leave the Santa Maria BBQ'ing to us, the people born and raised there. We know what we are doing.

    I was born and raised in Santa Maria, California. I moved away a while ago but always come back to the Far Western Restaurant in Guadalupe, CA or Jocko's in Nipomo, CA. Anybody that calls these beans Santa Maria style beans have never tried real Santa Maria style BBQ. Get your own name for your recipe and quit using the Santa Maria style BBQ name as your own recipe. The Santa Maria style BBQ has been around for a very long time and made up by the town's local cowboys. If anyone has lived in Santa Maria, my cowboy hat goes off to you know who!!!!

    We do have great BBQ here but this IS NOT even close to th recipe for the beans. Like many recipes various ingredients can be used to make a recipe your own. In this case call your beans Ranch Beans w/ Tri-Tip.

    To be considered Santa Maria Beans there must be Pinquito beans, not chili beans or ranch beans, not pinto beans or green beans.

    Pinquito beans are ONLY grown in the Santa Maria Valley. Period. Then the tradional recipe as part of the official Santa Maria Style BBQ would include garlic, onion, meat for flavor, sirloin or tri tip, a little dried red chili powder (this was also grown in the Valley NO jalapenos.

    Strike three this recipe is outta here.

    This recipe is nowhere close to traditional SM stlyle BBQ. You might add some bacon...you might add some some garlic and such...but you have to remember that SM stye BBQ came from cowboys. Working their cows by day and having a good filling meal at night. Rasberries to Bobby Flay

    I live in SantA Maria and this is nothing like we have here. First in Santa Maria we use dried poquito beans to make the beans. They are a very small pink dried bean. And the resipes do not have jalapenos in them. There is nothing authentic about this recipe.
