Ingredients
- 4 (8 to 10-ounce) flat iron steaks or any thin cut tender steak, no more than 1-inch thick
- 2 large cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 small sprigs fresh marjoram or oregano or a generous sprinkle of dried leaves
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1 cup organic ketchup
- 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 medium shallot, peeled
- 1 rounded tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons agave syrup or 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups slaw salad mix or shredded cabbage
- Celery salt
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (6-inch) slabs ciabatta bread or other large crusty rolls, split and toasted
- Chopped raw onion or chopped red onion
- Chopped drained Italian giardiniera hot pickled vegetables
- Chopped pickles
Instructions
- Bring the steaks to room temperature before cooking. Put them in a shallow dish and rub both sides of the meat liberally with garlic. Season with marjoram, rosemary, and salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle with a liberal dose of extra-virgin olive oil and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a cast iron griddle or large grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the steaks from the grill to a cutting board and let rest for a few minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
- In a small pot over medium heat, add the beef stock, ketchup, chopped garlic, Worcestershire, dark brown sugar, vinegar and lots of black pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes for the perfect sloppy sauce. Cook’s Note: Try the same sauce recipe atop of thinly sliced grilled chicken breast or thighs for sloppy sliced chickenwiches.
- Grate the shallot into a bowl and add the mustard, agave or sugar, and wine vinegar. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil until well combined. Add the slaw and toss to coat. Season with celery salt, and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pile the sliced meat on the bottom halves of the bread and top each with lots of sauce, slaw and onions and/or hot vegetable relish and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bread and serve.

In this episode- where do you get that Gold pullover shirt?
I will most certainly make this again.
This was wonderful! I have also just made the sauce and added it to ground beef for regular sloppy joes. We had a pot luck recently and I made the sauce for sloppy joes, put it in the crockpot to keep warm and it was all gone. Everyone love it and kept asking me for the recipe. I told them to watch Rachel.
My family and I LOVE this recipe! The sloppy johnnies are out of this world!!!! The sweet potato salad that goes with this is AMAZING! We eat this meal at least once a week.Thanks Rachael!
I love watching the sow but have not had much sucess with recipes in the past.
This one was a true winner in my house. I’ve done this twice since the show
aired and had great sucess!! Thanks Rach, This one is great from beginning to end. Thanks to John (her husband) for the inspiration and encouragement.

The flavors play off beautifully between the savory steak and the sweet slaw. I served this to a picky eater…you know the kind who can’t have any of their foods touching each other. I told her to take a deep breath and just try it. She loved it! I will definately make this combination again!
This was incredibly delicious and so easy. It packed a mouthful of flavors.
I used a 1 1/2 lb steak and cooked on the grill. A definite winner in my book and will be filed under ‘ favorites’.
