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!
