Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Tri-Tip Roast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 buns Whole Wheat Buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce Leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red Onion
- 4 tablespoons Low Sodium Mustard
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano to form a seasoning blend.
Rub the tri-tip roast with olive oil on all sides, then coat evenly with the seasoning blend.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the tri-tip roast on the grill and sear each side for about 5 minutes until a crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the grill, and continue cooking the tri-tip roast for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
While the tri-tip is resting, slice the tomato and red onion thinly.
Toast the whole wheat buns on the grill until lightly crispy.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading 1 tablespoon of low sodium mustard on each bun's bottom half.
Layer the sliced tri-tip, lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and onion slice on the bun.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
