A few nights ago, I cooked up a nice USDA Choice Tri-Tip, and it was served with some of The Missus' homemade Chimichurri sauce. Unfortunately, no pics of that. :tsk:

Our usual method of repurposing leftover Tri-Tip is to make french dips, but given we still had a good amount of leftover chimichurri, I decided to go a different route, which was more of a steak sammich.

Pulled the leftover tri-tip out of the fridge, and cut it into pieces that would align against the grain when it hit the slicer:

And the slicing began:

All finished:

Meanwhile, The Missus started on the fries:

Out of the fryer with a nice sprinkling of salt:

While the fries rested, I began sammich construction. Started with a soft french roll, which got a nice slather of butter:

The roll was then toasted. Now the meat was piled high on the toasty buttery roll:

Then, the meat was anointed generously with the chimichurri:

Then the lettuce and tomato:

Finally, the top roll was added:

Dinner was then fully ready to eat:

It was beyond tasty!
 
Now that's a sandwich, it's lunch time here sure wish I had that plate.
 
Be a perfect lunch here.
Not sure on that much sauce for my palate tho
 
I keep coming back. Those fries. My goodness, those fries.

French Fry Throwdown !!!!!
 
That looks fantastic! I'm not sure what I like better - beef the day of the cook, or the beef sammiches that come afterward.

I just started making chimichurri recently and my only regret is that I didn't get into it sooner.

And those fries...yeah...:hungry:
 
The only thing better that a good Tri-Tip meal is left-over Tri-Tip sammies!

I have to agree with DH on this one. When I grill up a TT for dinner, the wife gets slices from the small point end as she prefers medium. I Get the slices from the next section as they are closer to medium rare. The rest goes in a Ziploc bag with the juices from the plate and into the fridge over night. That night, I dream about those sandwiches that are to come...

Next day, I slice that rare TT thinly across the grain, mix it back with the juices, and then on to bread. I usually make a Habanero Lime Crema with TT, so a good slathering of that on the bread, some Jack cheese, and a pile of that (cold) juicy meat is all I need.

But, those fries looked killer. I'd eat them without the sandwich...
