Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tri Tip

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Season the tri tip roast with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill or roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    While the tri tip is resting, slice the onion thinly. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Horsey Aioli

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, and whole grain mustard. Mix well until smooth.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the tri tip against the grain into thin pieces. Toast the buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of horsey aioli on each bun, layer with arugula, add the sliced tri tip, top with caramelized onions, and finish with smoked gouda cheese. Serve immediately.
