Steps:
- 1. You will want your steak slice paper thin if possible. Also slice pepper and onions. Drizzle with a little olive oil and cook until onions are tender.
- 2. Season beef with favorite seasonings, I use granulated garlic and black pepper. If cooking in a skillet remove cooked veggies and cook meat. If using a grill or griddle, move veggies to one side and place meat on and cook to doneness you prefer.
- 3. Mix veggies and meat together and place on toasted bun with cheese. Enjoy this simple but delicious "burger".
Tips:
- Choose the Right Steak: Opt for a tender cut of steak like ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin to ensure a juicy and flavorful sandwich.
- Marinate Your Steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances its taste and tenderizes it.
- Cook to Your Desired Doneness: Depending on your preference, cook the steak to your desired level of doneness, whether it's rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done.
- Slice Against the Grain: When slicing the steak, cut against the grain to break down the muscle fibers and make it easier to chew.
- Toast Your Bread: Toasting the bread adds a crispy texture and helps it hold up better against the juicy steak and toppings.
- Use Quality Toppings: Choose fresh and flavorful toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles to complement the steak.
- Add Some Sauce: Experiment with different sauces like BBQ sauce, horseradish sauce, or a simple vinaigrette to add extra flavor to the sandwich.
