Equipment
- Large Flat Griddle
- Sharp Metal Spatula
- Chef Knife
- Bread knife.
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 Lb Ribeye Steak
- 2 Units White Sub Rolls
- 6 Slices White American Cheese
- 1 Unit Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Unit White Onion
- 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prep the meat and vegetables. Slice your ribeye steak into very thin strips. Remove any large pieces of hard fat. Slice the peppers and onions into thin slivers. Keep them ready on a clean plate.
- Heat the griddle and oil. Turn your griddle to medium-high heat. Add a splash of vegetable oil. Let the oil get hot and wavy. This ensures a good sear on meat.
- Sauté the fresh vegetables. Place the peppers and onions on the heat. Toss them with your metal spatula. Cook them until they look soft. Move them to the side of griddle.
- Sear and chop the steak. Place the steak strips on the hot surface. Let them brown for two minutes. Use your spatula to chop the meat finely. Mix the salt and pepper in now.
- Combine meat and vegetables. Slide the vegetables back into the meat. Mix everything together with the spatula. Form the mixture into a long row. Make it the size of your roll.
- Melt the American cheese. Place three slices of cheese on the meat. Let the cheese melt for thirty seconds. It should look very gooey and white. Do not let it burn or smoke.
- Toast and fill the roll. Slice your roll open but stay attached. Place the open roll over the meat. Use the spatula to lift everything up. Flip it over into the sub roll.
Notes
- Freeze the steak for thirty minutes before slicing it thin.
- Always use high heat to get a nice brown crust.
- Do not overcook the peppers to keep some nice crunch.
- Use fresh bread from a local bakery for best results.
- Scrape the griddle often to keep the flavors very clean.
