Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ribeye steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 pieces ciabatta rolls
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Start by preparing the steak. Rub the ribeye steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Set aside and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Slice the yellow onion and red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.
In the same skillet, add the butter and remaining olive oil. Once melted, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
While the vegetables are cooking, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them in the oven or on a griddle until golden brown.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain for the most tender cuts.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll, followed by 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce. Top with slices of steak, a generous scoop of the caramelized vegetables, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
Finish with the top half of the ciabatta roll and serve warm.
