Not Your Ordinary BBQ Sandwich

These turned out so good. Taylor who does not like shredded beef or BBQ sauce loved these. She even said that they could be on a restaurant menu. She could not resist going back for seconds. I used small buns, so they were almost like sliders. I served these with BBQ corn on the cob. You can also make these using different types of rolls.

Trader Joes Santa Maria Tri Tip
1 cup beef broth
1 - 14.5oz diced tomatoes with green chilies
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Parmesan Rosemary rolls, sliced (purchased at Trader Joes)
Cilantro sprigs
Avocado, sliced
Chipotle mayonnaise (store bought, or make your own…just a bit of mayonnaise and chipotle chilies in adobo sauce)

In a crock pot, place tri tip, beef broth, tomatoes and BBQ sauce. Stir to mix up liquid. Cover and cook on high for about 5 to 6 hours, until beef becomes shredded.

Grill or toast rolls. Top rolls with shredded beef, chipotle mayonnaise, cilantro and avocado. Serve and ENJOY!!!!

Wine pairing......Zinfandel.
