For The Carnivore

Tri-tip Sandwiches cropped

My husband Merl likes meat, meat, and more meat. His idea of eating veggies is putting lettuce and tomato on his burger. He’ll hardly eat a salad unless it’s covered in Thousand Island dressing, topped with croutons, and doesn’t have any of those “radical” vegetables like cucumbers or beets…or even avocados! I don’t know how we’ve stayed married for almost 37 years. Probably because like when we ate lunch out yesterday, he had his thing & I had a salad.

So having had my salad for the day, I made his favorite carnivore Tri-Tip Sandwiches for dinner (with a side of coleslaw which he’ll eat because it’s sweet and therefore has seemingly no redeeming value). The real plus here is if he wants to eat, he has to go out and grill the meat. I’m already Queen of the Kitchen, I refuse to be Princess of the Grill too. Remember, if you do a job well, it’s yours for life. So my advice ladies is just keep feigning incompetence where the grill is concerned. You’re doing him a favor. A man has to have his pride after all!

Although this really isn’t much of a recipe, nobody else make them like this, and it’s a lot faster than having to grill a whole tri-tip just to make a sandwich. Enjoy!

Cards on the table, I'm NOT a chef. Most of the time, I don't really even like to cook. But, I ALWAYS love to eat!....and I've had a lifetime of great cooks in my family showing me what good food's supposed to taste like. People are always asking me for recipes, asking what I'm cooking, so here you go. What I cook is probably as bizarre as my kids think I am. Sometimes healthy, sometimes artery clogging. Sometimes gourmet, sometimes just a quick fix to fill an empty place. Sometimes secret Italian family recipes, sometimes quick dump and stir out of cans. That's the way I roll. Take what you please, leave the rest. It's not brain surgery.
