Chef John’s Ultimate Steak Sandwich

  4.0 – 5 reviews  • Beef

Excellent Greek rice salad. Although you can omit the avocado if you like, it gives the dressing a slightly creamy texture. It is best prepared the day before serving.

Instructions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Listen to Chef John and let the steak be the star so definitely on a hot dog bun so the bread can’t overpower, Found all the ingredients at sprouts, except I used a Costco prime top sirloin cap off steak. Buy them in the vacuum sealed bag for $6-7 a lb & let it rest unopened in the fridge for up to 30 days. Great sauces just as written in the recipeThanks again Chef

I could not get the steak as suggested, so I took a NY strip sirloin, it was great, and I will do it again
Stanley Camacho
Very good. The meat was amazingly tender.
Thomas Jones
Great steak. I didn’t quite get the steak cooked enough for it to be really tender but that’s hardly the fault of the recipe. The mushrooms were a hit with my non mushroom eating wife.
