Smoked Tri Tip Sandwich

Check out the deliciousness of this smoked tri tip sandwich! It’s juicy, tender, and has that smoky goodness that’s out of this world.

Smoked tri tip sandwich Now, let’s break down what you’re gonna need to whip this up:

Ingredients:

2-3 lbs tri tip roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
8-10 sandwich rolls
Your favorite BBQ sauce
Coleslaw (for topping, optional)

Instructions:

First up, mix those spices! In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. This is your dry rub.
Next, rub down the tri tip roast with olive oil, then coat it generously with that spice mix. Make sure to cover all sides so every bite is flavorful.
Fire up the smoker! You want to get that temperature around 225°F. If you don’t have a smoker, a grill with indirect heat can work too.
Once it’s smoking nice, place the tri tip on the grill and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (I recommend medium rare!).
When that tri tip is done, let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps it nice and moist.
After resting, slice the tri tip against the grain into thin strips.
Now, assemble your sandwiches! Start with a split roll, lay down some of that succulent tri tip, drizzle with BBQ sauce, and top it off with some crunchy coleslaw if you like.
Finally, serve those bad boys up and enjoy the goodness!

Trust me, once you take a bite of this smoked tri tip sandwich, you’ll be coming back for seconds! Gather your folks and enjoy a delicious meal together. Happy cooking!
