Ingredients

TRI TIP:

1 Tri Tip Roast *Note 1

JALAPENO AIOLI:

½ Cup Mayonnaise
1½ Large Jalapeno, Seeded
1 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
½ tsp Minced Garlic
Salt, To Taste

TRI TIP SANDWICH:

4 Ciabatta Rolls *Note 2
4 Slices Smoked Gouda
½ Batch Pickled Red Onions
2 Cups Arugula

Instructions

TRI TIP:

Prepare the tri tip recipe of your choice, let rest for 15 minutes and slice thinly against the grain.
OR
Remove leftover tri tip from the refrigerator and slice thinly against the grain.

JALAPENO AIOLI:

Place all the ingredients in a small food processor and puree until smooth. Taste and adjust any ingredient, as needed. Set aside in the refrigerator.

BUILD THE SANDWICH:

Pre-heat the oven to broil (high).
(OPTIONAL)- Place two pieces of bread on a baking sheet and toast for 3-4 minutes, until your desired brownness is achieved. Remove the sheet from the oven.
(Skip This Step If Using Freshly Made Tri Tip) Layer the cold tri tip slices on top of the bottom slice of bread. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until the meat is warm. Remove from the oven.
Place the cheese, in a single layer, on top of the re-warmed tri tip. If using freshly made tri tip, put the cheese directly on the bottom slice of bread. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until soft. Remove from the oven.
If you didn't have to re-heat the tri tip, in the previous step, add it now. Pile on the pickled red onions and arugula, to taste.
Spread the aioli on the top piece of bread, to taste. Place the top bun on the bottom bun and enjoy!

Note 2 -You could use ciabatta rolls, garlic bread, french bread or even a french baguette. The broiling time may differer, however, so adjust accordingly.
