LOADED STEAK SANDWICH

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

1 lb (450 g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sandwich:

4 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese

1 large tomato, sliced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup sautéed onions and peppers (optional)

1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional, for heat)

For the Toppings:

Salsa or chimichurri sauce (optional)

Mayonnaise or garlic aioli (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Steak:

In a bowl, toss the steak slices with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the steak for 2–3 minutes per side, until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and let it rest.

Toast the Rolls:

Slice the hoagie rolls and lightly toast them on a grill or skillet until golden brown.

Assemble the Sandwich:

Spread mayonnaise or garlic aioli on the inside of each toasted roll (optional).

Add a layer of cooked steak, then top with shredded cheese. Melt the cheese by placing the sandwich under a broiler for a few seconds or using a hot skillet with a lid.

Layer with sliced tomato, chopped cilantro, and sautéed onions and peppers. Add pickled jalapeños for extra heat.

Finish with Sauce:

Drizzle with salsa or chimichurri for a burst of flavor (optional).

Serve:

Serve hot with a side of fries, chips, or a crisp salad.
