Classic Steak Sandwich Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Rub the olive oil, salt, and black pepper all over the steak. Make sure it is evenly coated.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature if needed.

4. 4

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

5. 5

   Prepare the Bread

   While the steak rests, cut the French baguette in half lengthwise. Toast the inside of the bread in the skillet or grill until golden brown.

6. 6

   Prepare the Garlic Butter

   Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic clove and let it infuse for 1-2 minutes.

7. 7

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Spread the garlic butter on the inside of each toasted baguette half. Layer with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and the sliced ribeye steak.

8. 8

   Add Condiments

   Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the top half of the baguette. Close the sandwich and press down gently.

9. 9

   Serve

   Cut the sandwich into manageable pieces and serve immediately while warm.
