Trucker Special Sandwich With Roasted Tri Tip Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the fat on the tri-tip, making sure to leave enough on for moisture protection and flavor.
• Mix the seasonings together in a small bowl and sprinkle onto the tri-tip. Let the seasoned meat sit covered in the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before grilling.
• Preheat the grill using oak wood. Place the tri-tip onto the grill and leave for at least 15 minutes to make sure the seasoning sticks. Gently turn the tri-tip over and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 110 to 120 degrees F for medium rare.
• Once the ideal temperature is reached, remove the tri-tip from the grill, wrap it in foil, and let it rest 5 to 8 minutes in order for it to reabsorb its own juices. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Steps:

• For the roasted tri-tip: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the tri-tip in a roasting pan and cover with the carrots, celery, onions, oregano and some garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and cover.
• Bake for 1 1/2 hours (reduce the time for rarer meat). Uncover and brown for about 30 minutes more. Let rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. (The stock may be saved for soups and brown gravies.)
• For the trucker special sandwich: Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place two bread slices, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Place one slice of cheese on each bread slice in the skillet. Place the meat on top of the cheese, and place the green chiles and bacon on top of the meat. Top with the other two slices of bread, butter-side up. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cut in half.

Steps:

• Rub tri-tip roast with olive oil and then garlic and herb dry rub. Using injector inject the roast in at least 4 spots with the butter/garlic sauce. Plug each hole with the first chile and then the garlic. Let stand for at least an hour (2 hrs preferred).
• Light gas grill and set on low to medium flame. Place wood chips in foil on flame and place roast on second rack or highest rack available fat side down. Slow roast the tri-tip for 20 to 30 minutes or until desired doneness, not turning it for the whole time it is being roasted.
• Remove when done and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to 450 degrees F.
• Dust the tri tip generously with seasoning salt and then place it on the hot grill, fatty side down. Grill for 10 minutes on each side, turning often, for a juicy medium rare. Remove from grill and let rest before slicing at an angle against the grain of meat. Serve with pico de gallo or chunky salsa, if desired.
