Tri-Tip-Sandwich

Zutaten

• 8-10 oz cooked tri-tip
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 small yellow onion (, thinly sliced)
• 4 slices melty cheese ((such as pepper jack, smoked gouda, or sharp cheddar))
• 1 French baguette or loaf bread (, 12-inches long)
• arugula or butter lettuce
• 2 tbsp bbq sauce
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard ((optional))

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Cook the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Add the sliced tri-tip to the skillet with the onions and gently warm through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

3. 3

   Make the BBQ Mayo Sauce by combining the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using) in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.

4. 4

   Slice the French baguette or loaf bread horizontally, cutting about 3/4 of the way through to create a pocket. Optionally, you can lightly toast the bread halves in a skillet, toaster oven, or oven.

5. 5

   While the bread is toasting, add the cheese slices to the warm tri-tip and onion mixture in the skillet, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.

6. 6

   Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the BBQ Mayo Sauce evenly on the inside of the toasted bread. Layer with the sliced tri-tip, onion and melted cheese mixture, and top with the arugula or butter lettuce.

7. 7

   Turn off the heat and place the cheese slices over the warm onions to melt the cheese.

8. 8

   Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the sauce on bread, then layer the sliced tri-tip, the onions with the melted cheese and then some lettuce.

9. 9

   Use a serrated knife to slice the sandwich into portions.

10. 10

    Serve warm, with favorite sides such as potato chips, arugula salad, potato salad, coleslaw, or baked beans.
