Recipe information

Make Somali Steak Sandwich in just 30m. Seasoned Beef, Served with Green Peppers

Preparing the Beef

1. Season the Steak

In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the beef steak to ensure it is well-seasoned.

2. Sear the Steak

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

3. Rest the Steak

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

Preparing the Vegetables

4. Slice the Vegetables

While the steak is resting, slice the green bell pepper and onion into thin strips.

5. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet used for the steak, add the sliced green bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

Assembling the Sandwich

6. Slice the Steak

After resting, slice the beef steak thinly against the grain.

7. Build the Sandwich

On each sandwich roll, layer some sautéed vegetables, followed by sliced steak. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise if desired.

8. Serve

Serve the sandwich warm and enjoy your delicious Somali Steak Sandwich.
