Ingredients

• 2 pounds Tri-tip roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 4 Ciabatta rolls
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Horseradish
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Arugula

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 3

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the tri-tip roast.

Step 4

Place the seasoned tri-tip on the preheated grill. Grill for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, turning halfway through cooking.

Step 5

While the tri-tip is cooking, thinly slice the onion.

Step 6

In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and melt. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and horseradish to create the horseradish mayo spread.

Step 8

Once the tri-tip is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 9

Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

Step 10

Spread the horseradish mayo on the bottom half of each toasted roll.

Step 11

Layer a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the spread.

Step 12

Add a generous amount of sliced tri-tip on top of the cheese, followed by caramelized onions and a handful of arugula.

Step 13

Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately.
