Steak and Toppings

Bacon Marmalade

Jalapeño Aioli

Method

Preparing Bacon Marmalade

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions

    In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked bacon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. Stir occasionally.

  5. 5

    Cool and Blend

    Remove from heat and cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to blend until smooth, if desired.

Making Jalapeño Aioli

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped jalapeño, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 7

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed. Set aside.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 8

    Prepare the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates if using a grill.

  2. 9

    Season the Filet

    Season the petit filets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 10

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steaks on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

  4. 11

    Add Provolone

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each steak and cover to melt.

Assembling the Hoagie

  1. 12

    Toasting the Rolls (optional)

    If desired, toast the hoagie rolls on the grill or in the oven for a few minutes until golden.

  2. 13

    Layer the Ingredients

    Slice the hoagie rolls open. Layer the steak with melted provolone, a generous amount of bacon marmalade, and a drizzle of jalapeño aioli.

  3. 14

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Bacon Marmalade Steak hoagie!
