Grilled Tri Tip Sandwich

Nothing satisfies like a steak sandwich loaded with savory, juicy slices of tri tip, creamy cheese, and a tangle of golden, caramelized onions. This Grilled Tri Tip Sandwich brings all the bold flavor of a steakhouse into the comfort of a hearty handheld meal, perfect for lunch, dinner, or even game day gatherings.

Tri tip, a cut known for its robust beefy flavor and tenderness when grilled, is the star of the show here. Sliced thin against the grain, it layers beautifully inside a toasted roll, melding with the smoky-sweet flavor of sautéed onions and optional bell peppers. Add melty provolone or pepper jack for a cheesy finish that ties it all together.

A swipe of garlic aioli or mayonnaise boosts the richness, while toasted hoagie rolls add crunch and structure to this satisfying sandwich. A quick blast under the broiler melts the cheese and warms everything through, making it ideal for prepping ahead or using leftovers from a grilled tri tip dinner.
