Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the tri-tip roast.
Place the seasoned tri-tip on the preheated grill. Grill for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, turning halfway through cooking.
While the tri-tip is cooking, thinly slice the onion.
In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and melt. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and horseradish to create the horseradish mayo spread.
Once the tri-tip is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.
Spread the horseradish mayo on the bottom half of each toasted roll.
Layer a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the spread.
Add a generous amount of sliced tri-tip on top of the cheese, followed by caramelized onions and a handful of arugula.
Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately.
