Ingredients

Beef:

Beer Cheese:

  • 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar shredded
  • 1.5 cups Swiss Cheese shredded
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • ⅔ cup Light Beer
  • 2.5 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1.5 tsp Cayenne Powder

Sandwich:

  • 1 Large Bread Loaf
  • 2.5 tbsp Horseradish Mayonnaise
  • Favorite Onion Rings
  • Favorite BBQ Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill for a two-zone indirect cooking method at medium low heat (about 250F).
  • Lather your tri-tip steaks with oil and generously season with my Cherry Chipotle Ale seasoning or your favorite BBQ seasoning.
  • Place the steaks on the cooler side of the grill and smoke until 125F internal (about 1.5-2 hours).
  • Once the steaks are done, pull them off and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • As the steaks rest, add a cast iron skillet directly over the low heat from the grill.
  • Add your butter, flour, garlic powder and cayenne powder to the skillet to melt and mix for 1-2 minutes.
  • Once mixed, slowly add your milk and beer in batches to fully integrate them and let the mixture thicken.
  • Once mixed, add your mustard and worcestershire sauce then stir.
  • Finally, add your shredded cheese and keep stirring until fully integrated and smooth. Once the sauce is done, pull it off and keep warm.
  • Right after finishing the sauce, slice your bread into two and make sure to toast.
  • Next, kick up the heat in the grill to 400F for direct grilling.
  • Sear off your rested tri-tip on both sides for 1.5 minutes per side to develop a crust. Pull the steaks off and slice very thinly against the grain.
  • Finally, start building your sandwich with a layer of Horseradish Mayonnaise on bottom, topped with a heaping amount of sliced steak, pouring of the Beer Cheese, some onion rings and a drizzle of your favorite BBQ Sauce.
  • Slice it up, serve and enjoy!
