Ingredients

  • 1 (2-3 lb) grilled tri tip (*See notes)
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 ciabatta rolls
  • 4 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 6 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups arugula
  • Mustard of choice (yellow, brown, spicy, stone ground)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make tri tip: My go-to recipe is linked in the notes but you can use any recipe you like OR use leftover tri tip. Once cooked and rested, slice it against the grain in ¼ inch slices.

  2. 2

    Saute onions: Slice the onions thinly. Cook in a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Toast bread: Cut the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally, then spread the inside of each with softened butter. Toast them under the broiler, in a toaster oven, or in a skillet over medium-high heat. Get them nice and golden brown!

  4. 4

    Assemble: Place cheese on the warm bun to get melty. Add sliced tri tip, arugula, sautéed onions, and a generous drizzle of mustard. Enjoy!
