Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 tender ribeye or sirloin steak (about 8 oz)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tbsp softened butter
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt

Sandwich Components

  • 4 slices thick Italian bread or sourdough
  • 6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Butter or olive oil for grilling (1-2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil and sear the steak until it reaches your preferred doneness (medium-rare recommended). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then slice thinly against the grain.
  2. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter with minced fresh garlic and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly blended.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the garlic butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer sliced steak evenly, then pile shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Close sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, garlic butter side facing outward.
  4. Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook until the bread is crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Flip carefully to grill both sides evenly and allow cheese to melt completely. Press lightly with a spatula to bind layers.
  5. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing. This ensures the melted cheese holds the sandwich together and is comfortable to eat.

Notes

  • Slice steak thinly to ensure balanced bites without overwhelming the sandwich.
  • Grill sandwiches over medium to medium-low heat to prevent burning garlic butter and ensure cheese melts well.
  • Use thick, artisan-style bread to avoid sogginess and maintain great texture.
  • Rest steak after cooking to keep it juicy and tender within the sandwich.
  • Use plenty of cheese and press lightly when grilling for optimal binding.
