Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 38

1 1/2 pounds very thinly sliced rib-eye steak*, trimmed of any excess fat, at room temperature
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, divided
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 large red onion, medium dice
1 large red bell pepper, medium dice
1 jalapeno (stemmed, seeded, ribs removed), small dice
2 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 green onion stalks, diced
4 (6 to 7-inch) baguette rolls, split
Fire-Roasted Jalapeno Aioli, recipe follows
1 large bunch or package baby watercress
1 bunch fresh cilantro sprigs
1 red bell pepper, stem, seeds and ribs removed, julienne cut
1 English cucumber, peeled and cut on diagonal into 1 1/4-inch rounds
2 jalapenos, sliced very thin (optional, but recommended)
Crispy Fried Onion Strings, recipe follows
1 large lime, cut into 8 wedges
4 large jalapenos
4 cloves garlic, papery outer layer still attached
Dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 lime, zested
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 cups mayonnaise
Canola oil, for frying
4 cups rice flour
4 large red onions, sliced paper-thin
Fine salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Bunch chives, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To the meat, add half of the granulated sugar, half of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon of oil. Next, combine the remaining sugars, vinegar, wine, soy sauce and fish sauce in a bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Divide the meat into 2 portions. Place 2 large skillets over the highest heat possible and add 1 tablespoon of oil to each skillet. When the oil begins to smoke, add 1/2 the meat in 1 layer to each pan. Let sit until a brown crust forms, and turn to brown the other side. Browning should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes total. Set aside, drain 1 skillet of excess oil and lightly wipe down with a paper towel.
  • In that skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke add the onion, bell pepper and jalapeno with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook stirring often until lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and green onions and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. While the onion mixture is finishing cooking, place the 4 baguettes in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly toasted and warmed through. Add the beef and vinegar mixture to the onions, and stir to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Keep warm while you assemble the sandwich.
  • To assemble each sandwich, spread 1 scant tablespoon of aioli on both sides of the baguette. On the bottom half, add a small handful of watercress, then 1/4 of the meat mixture, top with a small handful of cilantro, some julienne bell pepper, a few slices of cucumber, and a few slices of jalapeno. Enjoy and serve along with 2 lime wedges (which are meant to be squeezed over the meat right before eating), Crispy Fried Onion Strings, and additional aioli in a ramekin for dipping - and enjoy!
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the jalapeno and garlic to the dry skillet. Cook until blackened and charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Place in a plastic bag, seal and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then remove the stems, most of the skin, and all of the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno, and the outer layer of the garlic. Add jalapenos and garlic to a food processor or blender with remaining ingredients. Blend, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper and cayenne if desired and enjoy!;
  • (Makes enough for 4 sandwiches, plus extra for dipping Onion Strings) .
  • Fill a large heavy pot 1/3 full with oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels. Place the flour in a large paper bag or bowl. Add the onions, toss well to coat and shake off the excess. Fry the onions until golden brown (you may need to do this in 2 batches if your pot isnt big enough), about 4 minutes. Remove to the paper towel lined plate, and immediately sprinkle generously with salt and a touch of pepper. Place a large mound on each plate and top with chopped chives. Serve with a ramekin of the aioli and enjoy!

JALAPENO POPPER GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH



Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich image

This is an awesome spin on a plain grilled cheese sandwich. Feel free to alter it to your liking. The ciabatta bread is not typical grilled cheese material but the crunch of the buttery grilled chewy bread goes perfect with this jalapeno filling. You can also use sourdough bread.

Provided by BrandyE

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Sandwich Recipes     Grilled Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
10 pickled jalapeno pepper slices, or to taste - chopped
2 ciabatta sandwich rolls
4 teaspoons butter
8 tortilla chips, crushed
½ cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and pickled jalapeno in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
  • Slice each roll in half horizontally, then slice the rounded tops off the ciabatta rolls to make a flat top half. Spread 1 teaspoon butter on the doughy cut side of the bottom bun and 1 teaspoon butter on the now flattened top bun. Place half of the cream cheese mixture, half of the crushed chips, and half of the shredded cheese on the non-buttered side of the bottom bun. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and place the sandwich on the hot skillet. Repeat with the second sandwich.
  • Grill until lightly browned and flip over, about 3 to 5 minutes; continue grilling until cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef. Chuck roast or top sirloin are good choices for this recipe, as they are both flavorful and relatively inexpensive cuts of meat.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender. This will ensure that the sandwiches are juicy and flavorful.
  • Don't skip the jalapenos. They add a nice kick of heat to the sandwiches, but you can adjust the amount to your liking.
  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well to the juicy beef and sauce.
  • Serve the sandwiches with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno beef sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering.
