Ingredients
- 4 Denver steak cuts (approximately 6-8 ounces each)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 slices of Provolone cheese
- 4 sub rolls or baguettes, sliced lengthwise
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preparing the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
Seasoning and Searing the Denver Steaks:
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the Denver steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and rub it in. Place the steaks on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Sautéing the Onions and Peppers:
In the same skillet used for cooking the steaks, add a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. -
Assembling the Sandwiches:
Slice the sub rolls or baguettes lengthwise, leaving one side intact. Spread the sauce generously on both sides of the bread. Layer the sliced Denver steak, sautéed onions, and bell peppers on the bottom half of the bread. Top with a slice of Provolone cheese. Close the sandwich and press it lightly. - Grilling or Toasting the Sandwiches:
Preheat a panini press, grill pan, or skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the preheated surface and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted to your liking. Alternatively, you can use a panini press to achieve those distinct grill marks. - Serving and Enjoying:
Once the sandwiches are ready, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Slice the sandwiches diagonally, if desired, and serve them warm.
Enjoy the perfect bite of tender Denver steak, caramelized onions, melted Provolone, and zesty homemade sauce.
