A hearty and indulgent steak sandwich featuring perfectly seared steak, fresh toppings, and a smoky chipotle sauce that’s creamy and spicy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or ribeye steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 slices crusty bread (ciabatta or sourdough)
  • 1 cup arugula or baby spinach
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Optional: 4 slices of cheese (provolone or cheddar)

Instructions

  1. Take the steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels, then rub it with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, honey, and smoked paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Toast the bread slices lightly in a toaster or oven until golden and slightly crisp.
  5. Spread a generous layer of chipotle sauce on each slice of bread. Layer with arugula, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and cheese (if using). Add the sliced steak on top, then finish with the second slice of bread.
  6. Cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling and enjoy immediately!

Notes

[‘Season the steak generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.’, ‘Let the steak rest after cooking to retain its juices.’, ‘Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.’, ‘Toast the bread for added crunch and to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Adjust the chipotle sauce’s heat by adding more or less chipotle peppers.’]
