New Mexico Chile Rubbed Tri Tip With Charred Green Onion And Avocado Salsa Food

TRI-TIP DIP

Steps:

• Combine the butter with the garlic and brush on the inside of the ciabatta rolls. Toast the rolls on a grill, or broil in the oven until crispy. Smear with Horseradish Mayonnaise.
• Dip the tri-tip slices into the hot Jus for 45 seconds to warm. Pile the meat onto the bottoms of the rolls and top with cheese if using. Close the sandwiches, slice in half and serve with extra Jus on the side for dipping.
• Combine the sour cream, horseradish, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute the shallots and garlic in the butter and olive oil until lightly caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the flour and mix together to form a loose paste (roux). Deglaze with the brandy and whisk in the beef stock, demi-glace and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the aroma and flavor of the jus are rich and deep, 25 minutes. Strain the broth to remove the garlic and shallots, then return the liquid to the pot. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

PASTRAMI-RUBBED SMOKED TRI-TIP

Steps:

• Combine the pepper, salt, coriander seeds and mustard seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind until coarsely ground. Stir together with the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Pat dry the roast with paper towels and evenly coat with the spice rub, making sure to get the sides as well. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.
• Heat a grill for indirect cooking to 225 to 250 degrees F. While the grill is heating, prepare a smoker box with hickory or mesquite wood chips. When the wood chips start to smoke, put the box on the back of the grill over direct heat.
• Put the tri-trip on the indirect heat side of the grill, leaving the dampers of the grill open. If your grill doesn't have a damper, leave a gap in the lid to let the air in but not let the smoke out. Using a probe thermometer, bring the meat to 130 degrees F, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let the meat rest 10 to 15 minutes, then slice against the grain and enjoy with BBQ sauce alongside.

TRI-TIP WITH CHIPOTLE RUB

Steps:

• Sprinkle tri-tip with kosher salt. Massage Chipotle Rub into meat. Let steak sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate uncovered overnight. Bring to room temperature before grilling.
• Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Cook 3-4 minutes per side over direct heat until nicely charred. Transfer to low-heat side (or lower gas grill heat to medium) and cook an additional 6-8 minutes per side or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F for rare (steak will carry over to 125°F, or medium-rare, as it rests).
• Transfer meat to a carving board; let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.
