Back in Jersey City, groceries were unloaded, meats were packed for the freezer (2 beautiful beef tenderloins that are ready and waiting for a cool day!) and lobsters were boiled (for a lobster salad sandwich tomorrow after pilates). Since I bought a whole tenderloin there were a few small chunks that were left over from the steaks. Into the grill pan they went and this steak sandwich was born....
Steak Sandwich
1/4 lb per person steak (I used the leftover bits from a tenderloin but you can use many other types of cuts as well - about five 1" cubes per sandwich)
salt & pepper
1/2 green bell pepper - in slices
1/2 yellow bell pepper - in slices
1 red onion - sliced
1 small hot pepper - diced (I used a jalapeno)
1 tsp olive oil
2 slices swiss cheese per person
1 roll per person ( we had rolls from Eli's and they were amazing!)
condiments of choice (Jeremy used some ketchup and mayo.... I kept it plain)
1) heat olive oil in pan
2) add peppers and onions - saute until soft and starting to caramelize - do not let burn (10 min)
3) on hot grill pan - cook meat seasoned with salt and pepper on high heat until browned on all sides (5 min total)
4) toast rolls on edge of grill pan (or in toaster) until warm and crusty but not burnt
4) assemble sandwich - bottom roll, steak, slices of swiss, peppers and onions, condiments, top roll
