Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Take the ribeye steak and generously season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned steak in the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sarnie

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the bread rolls in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Spread mayonnaise on the inside of both halves of the bread rolls. Place a layer of lettuce leaves on the bottom half, followed by slices of tomato.

  3. 6

    Slice the Steak

    Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.

  4. 7

    Finish the Sarnie

    Layer the sliced steak on top of the tomatoes and add the cheese slices. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, then top with the other half of the bread roll.
