Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Tri-Tip

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

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    While the tri-tip is resting, slice the bell pepper and onion. In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil. Sauté the bell pepper and onion until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Prepare the Hoagie Rolls

    Slice the hoagie rolls in half and spread the bun spread (mayonnaise or aioli) on each side. Place a portion of the sliced tri-tip onto the bottom half of each roll.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Veggies

    Top the tri-tip with sautéed bell peppers and onions, then layer on the pepperjack cheese slices.

  3. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and is bubbly.

Prepare the Beer Queso

  1. 6

    Make the Queso

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, beer, and milk. Stir until melted and smooth. Add chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.
