Tri Tip and Caramelized Onion Sandwiches with Mustard Aioli Directions
- Place steaks in a resealable plastic bag. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over steaks. Make sure to work marinade well into the meat. Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, slice the onion and heat olive oil in a large skillet on the stove. Add onion, salt and black pepper. Allow onion to cook on high for 2 minutes, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes, turning often.
- Add wine and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add stock, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Place steaks on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning often. Steaks should cook quickly since they are relatively small and thin. If they are thicker, leave them for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and place onto cutting board. Allow meat to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare aioli by combining mayonnaise, mustard, and chili powder. If making ahead of time, place into an air-tight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days after preparation.
- To assemble: Place Swiss on a lower bun, add 6-8 slices of meat, 1/4 cup/60 mL of caramelized onion, and spread a generous amount of aioli on the remaining inside half of the bun before topping the sandwich.
