Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked steak (leftovers)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 2 pieces hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Thinly slice the leftover steak into bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the steak slices. Heat for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until warmed through. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a spread.
Preheat a griddle or clean skillet over medium heat. Slice hoagie rolls or sandwich buns in half and lightly butter the inside of each half.
Spread the mayo-Dijon mixture on the buttered sides of the rolls. Layer each sandwich with the heated steak, sautéed vegetables, and 2 slices of cheddar cheese per sandwich.
Place the assembled sandwiches on the hot griddle or skillet. Press lightly with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Steak Lovers Leftovers Sandwich!
