Tri-Tip Sandwiches

For this recipe, I turned to the Internet to find a good use for our leftover Smoked Tri-Tip.  I stumbled across a delicious looking blog post and decided to give it a try.  I must admit, it made a really good sandwich so I decided to share the recipe here.  Here is a link to the original recipe.

This recipe starts with toasting the buns after spreading with garlic herb butter.  This step adds wonderful flavor and I might have to do this for hamburgers moving forward.

 

When I removed the buns from the oven, I layered on a slice of provolone cheese, the leftover smoked tri-tip which I sliced as thinly as possible, lettuce, and tomato. My husband love's BBQ sauce, so I added some of Mike's BBQ Sauce to his sandwich.

I paired the sandwiches with pasta salad and this made a quick and easy dinner and used all our remaining tri-tip ;-)

 

Here is the final recipe:
