Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 pounds tri-tip steak
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1 stalk celery, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- Pinch oregano
- Minced garlic
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 slices green chile
- 6 slices cooked bacon
Instructions
- For the roasted tri-tip: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the tri-tip in a roasting pan and cover with the carrots, celery, onions, oregano and some garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan and cover.
- Bake for 1 1/2 hours (reduce the time for rarer meat). Uncover and brown for about 30 minutes more. Let rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. (The stock may be saved for soups and brown gravies.)
- For the trucker special sandwich: Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place two bread slices, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Place one slice of cheese on each bread slice in the skillet. Place the meat on top of the cheese, and place the green chiles and bacon on top of the meat. Top with the other two slices of bread, butter-side up. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cut in half.

Reviews
This is our new favorite recipe for roast. Since this is a cheap cut of meat, you will need to cook it for the amount of time specified, or the meat will be tough. We followed this as directed and the meat was so tender. I will leave the red meat to our rib eye steaks vs this cut of meat. Thank you for this recipe!!!!
I used this recipe for the roast only. I cut 1/2 an hour off the time and it was still pretty well done. Next time I’ll take off another 1/2 hour so it’s 30 minutes covered, 30 min uncovered. I put a spice rub on beforehand as well, and added more veggies. Hubby liked it too, but also thought there should be less cooking time. We’ll make the Trickers sammies tomorrow night with the leftovers.
Great sandwich! Definitely add some creamy horseradish.
Geat sandwich! Super easy to make and keeps you wanting more!!! No complaints here!!!
Excellent recipe! This is fool proof and very tasty.
This meat was so delicious. My husband & I loved it! Even our 16 mo old enjoyed it too. We did sliced gruyere cheese instead of the swiss and wegman’s super soft submarine rolls instead of the sourdough and the sandwiches were so yummy! I’m excited to make it again.
The meat was very tasty and juicy, it just needed to be a little tender, yet overall outstanding!
Calories? What calories? Hearty (to say the least), and, if like me, you need to count those calories, you already know the basics for eliminating some of the obvious overkill. Try it once, full on… OMG!
This recipie supprised both my spon and I, next time we need to double it because it did not last very long.
I made this the first time the other night, exactly as the recipe says. My family said not to change a thing….very…very good.
