Description
This steak grilled cheese sandwich is loaded with juicy slices of steak and gooey melted cheese, all tucked between buttery, toasted bread. It’s the perfect mashup of a steak sandwich and a grilled cheese – bold, hearty, and easy to make at home.
Ingredients
-
4 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough or Texas toast works great)
-
2 tbsp butter, softened
-
1 cup cooked steak, thinly sliced (ribeye, sirloin, or leftover steak)
-
1/2 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese
-
1/2 small onion, sliced (optional)
-
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced (optional)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tsp olive oil (for sautéing veggies, if using)
Instructions
-
Optional Veggies: If using onions and peppers, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft. Set aside.
-
Butter Bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
-
Assemble Sandwich: On the non-buttered side of two slices, layer cheese, steak slices, and sautéed veggies (if using). Top with more cheese and the other slices of bread, buttered side out.
-
Grill: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
-
Serve: Slice and enjoy hot with a side of chips, fries, or pickles.
Notes
-
Leftover steak works great! Just reheat slightly before adding.
-
Add a spread of garlic mayo, horseradish sauce, or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
-
You can use any melty cheese combo – gouda and provolone are great together!
