Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 pound Flank steak or sirloin Flank steak is tender; skirt steak is a budget-friendly substitute.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Fresh garlic can enhance the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika Regular paprika can work, but won’t have the same depth.
For the Cheese
  • 4 slices Provolone or cheddar Swiss is a mild substitute; pepper jack adds heat.
For the Buns
  • 4 pieces Sandwich rolls or hoagie buns Whole grain buns or lettuce wraps can be healthier options.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • small bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the steak: combine garlic powder and smoked paprika. Coat flank steak or sirloin with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Cook vegetables: heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté sliced onions and green bell peppers for about 7-8 minutes until soft and caramelized. In the last minute, add minced garlic.
  3. Cook the steak: in the same skillet, cook the marinated steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: slice the rested steak against the grain. Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a bowl and spread on rolls. Layer sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, and cheese.
  5. Melt the cheese: broil sandwiches for 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly, or toast in a skillet for a crispy exterior.
  6. Add greens: top with fresh arugula or lettuce, close the rolls, and cut in half to serve immediately.
