Slice, stack, and serve — ideal for game-day spreads. These sandwiches feature the bold, beefy flavor of HeartBrand® Certified Akaushi Beef® Tri-Tip. Perfectly roasted and thinly sliced against the grain, this premium cut delivers a tender, juicy bite that stands up to any topping.
Ingredients
Serves 6-8
- 1 (2 to 3-pound) HeartBrand Certified Akaushi Beef® Tri-Tip Steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons HeartBrand Seasoning (or a blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder)
- 6–8 high-quality sandwich rolls (such as ciabatta or brioche)
- 1/2 cup garlic aioli or horseradish cream
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- Optional: Provolone or Swiss cheese slices
Preparation
- Season and Prep: Remove the HeartBrand Tri-Tip from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Rub with olive oil and season generously on all sides.
- Sear and Roast: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large oven-safe skillet, sear the tri-tip over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
- The Crucial Rest: Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This ensures the juices stay in the meat rather than on the board.
- Slice Against the Grain: Identify the direction of the muscle fibers and slice the tri-tip into very thin strips against the grain. This is essential for a tender sandwich bite.
- Assemble: Lightly toast your rolls. Spread a layer of garlic aioli or horseradish cream on both sides. Stack a generous portion of sliced Wagyu tri-tip, followed by cheese (if using), red onions, and a handful of peppery arugula.
Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. These sandwiches are perfect for a self-serve game-day station.
