Steak Sandwiches

There's almost nothing IT Guy likes better than steak. He'll take it in any form. So when I made these sandwiches, I knew we'd have a winner. You can use leftover steak for these or buy fresh, like I did. Make as much or as little as you like...that's one of the best things about this recipe. You can tailor it to fit as many as you need. This is a great recipe to use with the warmer months upon us because you can use your outdoor grill to cook the meat and keep the heat out of the kitchen!

Steak Sandwiches



1 - 2 steaks (I used some flat iron steaks I had on hand. I just grilled them in my grill pan.)
Steak seasoning of your choice or salt and pepper
1 large onion ~ sliced 
Cheddar cheese slices
1/2 cup to 1 cup bbq sauce
Butter
Sandwich or sub rolls

In a large skillet, caramelize the onion with a little olive oil. Remove from the pan to a plate. 

Season the steaks.

Drizzle a little more olive oil in the same pan and grill the steaks to desired doneness. I grilled mine about 4 minutes on each side. Allow steaks to stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Thinly slice the cooked steak. Add back into the warm skillet and add the bbq sauce. Stir to combine and warm through.

Slice open the rolls and butter each side lightly.

Start layering the ingredients on the bread.....onions, meat, cheese, etc.

Turn oven to broil.

Place sandwiches open-faced on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese starts to melt. Watch so they don't burn. 

Place empty bun on top of filled bun...slice and enjoy!

 
The line up!

 
Caramelize the onions then remove from the pan.

 
Then season and cook the steaks.

 
Allow the steak to stand for a 
few minutes before slicing then 
return to the pan with the bbq sauce. 
Stir to combine and warm through.

 
Then build your sandwiches 
and broil a minute or so to melt 
the cheese and toast the bread.

 
Yum!
