Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (10-12 oz) Ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Ciabatta rolls
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- 1 cup Baby arugula
- 0.5 cup (drained and chopped) Roasted red peppers
- 0.25 cup Shelled pistachios
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Season the ribeye steak on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
To make the pistachio pepper pesto, combine roasted red peppers, pistachios, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast the cut sides under a broiler or in a toaster oven.
Spread a generous layer of pistachio pepper pesto on the bottom half of each roll.
Top with baby arugula, sliced steak, and a slice of Havarti cheese on each sandwich.
Place sandwiches back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese begins to melt.
Add the top half of the roll, press gently, and serve warm.
