Tri-tip deserves better than a plain sandwich, and this melt delivers. Spiceology's Mesquite Peppercorn Lager Rub — a Derek Wolf collaboration — soaks into the beef during a lager-and-hot-sauce marinade, building layers of smoky, bold flavor before the steak ever hits the grill. Caramelized onions, melted Havarti, and a swipe of horseradish mayo on buttered Texas toast make this the kind of lunch that turns into the only thing you want to make on a weekend.

  • ¼ cup of Spiceology Derek Wolf Mesquite Peppercorn Lager Rub

  • Tri-Tip, with fat cap
