Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb Tri-tip roast
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 8 Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 sliced Tomatoes
- 1 sliced Red onion
- 2 sliced Avocado
- 2 cup Arugula
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a rub.
Rub the tri-tip roast thoroughly with the seasoning mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Grill the tri-tip on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove the tri-tip from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat.
While the tri-tip is resting, brush the portobello mushroom caps lightly with olive oil and grill them for about 5 minutes on each side until tender.
Once the meat has rested, slice the tri-tip thinly against the grain.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a grilled portobello cap as the base, add a handful of arugula, a few slices of tri-tip, tomato, red onion, and avocado. Top with another portobello cap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant grilled tri-tip sandwich!
