Steak

Baltimore Tiger Sauce

Crispy Onion Straws

Pretzel Buns

Fries

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the dry-aged steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Tomato Jam

  1. 3

    Cook the Tomato Jam

    In a saucepan, combine diced tomatoes, sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Jam

    Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Baltimore Tiger Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.

Crispy Onion Straws

  1. 6

    Soak the Onions

    Place the thinly sliced onions in buttermilk and let soak for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, and salt.

  3. 8

    Coat the Onions

    Remove onions from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 9

    Fry the Onions

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated onions in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 10

    Prepare the Fries

    Cook frozen fries according to package instructions. Season with salt to taste before serving.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 11

    Build the Sandwich

    Slice the pretzel buns in half. Spread a generous amount of tomato jam on the bottom half, followed by sliced steak, Baltimore tiger sauce, and crispy onion straws.

  2. 12

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the pretzel bun and serve alongside fries.
