Steak and Cheese Sandwich

Who doesn’t enjoy a Steak and Cheese Sandwich now and then? Crispy Italian bread with layers of deliciousness – it’s so good, the hungry men in your family will love it!

Our steak and cheese sandwich is a simple sandwich made with a few staple ingredients you may already have in your pantry, plus some leftover steak, of course.

You can use any steak from the night before. Try it with your grilled London Broil Steak, or our New York Strip Steak Grilled. And, if you have filet mignon, they all will work nicely with our sandwich.

Our steak and cheese sandwich is layered with slices of mozzarella cheese, thin slices of steak, roasted red peppers, and some fresh greens (it’s what I had in the fridge). Then I topped it with a drizzle of pesto sauce and balsamic vinegar and grilled it until the cheese was softened, and the bread was crispy.

It was so amazing! Every bite was crunchy and mouth-watering, gosh… we couldn’t stop eating.

Highlights & Great Tips for this Steak and Cheese Sandwich:

Use any leftover steak you may have from the night before. It’s best to have it thinly sliced before you store the leftover steak in your refrigerator.
I added some fresh spinach leaves to get some “healthy greens” in there, but you can add any fresh greens you prefer. Also, use only the leaves, and remove any large stems from the spinach.
Go ahead and add sliced avocados, caramelized onions, and tomatoes if you prefer.
We adore the flavors of sweet roasted peppers. I found a jar in our pantry, and again, you can leave them out if you don’t have any on hand.
Plus, we had some fresh mozzarella on hand. You can use any cheese you prefer with a steak sandwich. Try it with Gruyere or Provolone cheese. You can’t go wrong.
You can make as many sandwiches as you need with our recipe.
When you combine the steak with some of these staples? You get an amazing sandwich with flavors that are truly restaurant-worthy.
