    This Delicious Tri-Tip Sandwich is the best way to use up your leftover Tri-Tip. The secret sauce is a must with these sandwiches!

    I had some leftover Tri-Tip and decided to make these delicious sandwiches. Super easy to make especially when you have a bunch of leftover tri-tip you want to use up.

    As with most sandwich recipes, none of what I put on the recipe card is written in stone. Feel free to mix things up to your liking. For example, you can use a different kind of bread or not use the secret sauce at all and substitute for some BBQ Sauce.

    The secret sauce I am including on the recipe card was inspired by Celebrity Pitmaster Kent Rollins. I say inspired because I took some liberties to tweak the quantities to my liking. Feel free to do the same. It's an awesome sauce that pairs well with this tri-tip sandwich.

    When it comes to re-heating the tri-tip, assuming you want to re-heat it, I would suggest putting them in a toaster oven for 7-10 minutes at 325°F until it reaches your desired temperature. As a last resort, you can also reheat the meat in the microwave. I personally try to avoid using the microwave as much as possible but use what you got!

    📋 What Ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Tri-Tip Sandwich recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Tri-Tip, Ciabatta Rolls, Mayonnaise, Worcestershire Sauce, Horseradish Sauce, Garlic Cloves, Honey, Sour Cream and Ground Black Pepper. Optional toppings include: Leaf Lettuce, Baby Arugula, Pickled Red Onions and Sliced Cheese.

    🥣 How to make Tri-Tip Sandwich

    Make the Secret Sauce
    In a small bowl whisk all the special secret sauce ingredients together.
    Let the sauce sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. This will allow all the flavors to meld. You can use it immediately, but the longer you let it sit in the refrigerator, the more flavorful it will be.
    Make the Sandwich
    If desired, toast the bread. Place approximately 4 ounces of sliced Tri-Tip on the bottom half of the bun.
    Top the Tri-Tip with some secret sauce. Garnish with your favorite toppings like pickled red onions, lettuce and sliced cheese.
