🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 crusty sandwich roll or baguette, split and lightly toasted
  • 6 oz ribeye or sirloin steak, cooked medium-rare and thinly sliced
  • Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 2 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup baby greens (like arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • ¼ red apple, thinly sliced
  • 2 slices fresh tomato
  • Fresh red chili slices (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter, for cooking

🔥 Instructions

1. Season the Steak

Rub steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme on both sides.

2. Sear to Perfection

Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side or until medium-rare (adjust to your preference).
Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

3. Build the Sandwich

Place cheese slices on the bottom half of the toasted roll.
Pile on the warm steak slices—the heat will gently melt the cheese.

4. Layer on the Freshness

Top with baby greens, tomato, apple slices, and optional chili slices for a kick of heat.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Close the sandwich, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
