Big Poppa made a tritip sandwich video and that sandwich looked so good I had to make it. There are about 3 new videos BP made showcasing tritip which gives an indication of how important tritip is Californians! In one of the tritip videos BP used Sriracha sauce (Vietnamese Garlic Hot Sauce) as a glue/coating for the rub to stick to. Never tried that before! Sounds really hot....it wasn't, just really tasty.

So tonight is cold and what goes better with a sandwich on a cold night than a nice hot cup of homemade Cream of Tomato soup??? Here's how it went!

Any tritip sandwich starts with seasoning a tritip. I vacu-tumbled the TT with Head Country Premium marinade for 20 mins.
Then wiped off the marinade and applied a coating of Sriracha sauce then coated with BP's DSSR and Butchers Steak & Brisket rub.

Next let's get the seasoned sourdough croutons going in the MAK so I'll have something to float in the soup. Seasoned with garlic olive oil. Mine were also dusted with Desert Gold.

Now lets get the tritip going on the drum but first add some 100% Red Oak pellets to the drum pellet holder/heat diffuser (Thanks Jim!) to smolder so it adds that true Santa Maria flavor to the tritip.

Throw the tritip onto the drum

The tritip is done at 140IT, let it rest 20 mins. Gorgeous color!

Now assemble the sandwich. Toast the sourdough bread slices, slather on some horseradish mayo, then add red onion sliced thin, sliced tomatoes, sliced tritip and top with aged Vermont sharp cheddar cheese. Add Dijon mustard or Guldens Spicy brown mustard to the top slice of sourdough toast.

Now put it under a broiler to melt the cheese!!!! BP's a genious!

Plated! With homemade Cream of Tomato soup topped with shredded Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses and the sourdough Desert Gold croutons...
On a cold night, absolutely heaven on a plate!

Alf, I have a box of rubs in the closet that I've tried and no longer use. I also have 2 shelves in a kitchen cabinet that are dedicated only to my rubs. After buying and testing many, many rubs I can say that the majority of my go-to rubs now have a BPS label on them! I don't know if BP mixes these rub flavor profiles himself or he has some mad BBQ rub genious locked away in a lab in BP's shed out back of his house creating them for him. I only know that the rubs with a BPS label on them have earned their place in the front row of my kitchen cabinet!

Scooter I create all the rubs.....had no idea that I could do it and it sort of fell together....Now I get an idea and I work with the Chemist/chef at the co packer...he and I get along really well and I think that I got his attention with the original stuff I brought him

I asked him if he liked my stuff when we started and he said "I do this all day.....if I take it home its a winner...he has all of my stuff at home.

He also has two drums and is crazy about them I will try to get him involved here....

News flash I have a pepper blend Poppa Picked a Pack of Pepper. Mix of pepper only...many kinds of pepper
