Steak Sandwich with Melted Cheese
Recipe for a gloriously messy sandwich with steak, cheese and chilli sauce.
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 6 slices sandwich bread – I use sourdough toast bread from Paagen
- 160 g leftover steak, culotte (rump cap), beef fillet or similar
- 4 slices cheddar
- 100 g grated mozzarella
- 2 handfuls spinach
- 1/2 onion, finely sliced
- 4 tbsp good chilli sauce – I always use Chu Chum
- Freshly ground pepper
- Rocket for the top, optional
Instructions
- Slice the meat thinly.
- Spread 4 of the bread slices with chilli sauce and top the bottom slices with half of the mozzarella, onion, spinach and meat, then lay a slice of cheddar on top. Use only half of all the ingredients, so you have enough for the next layer too.*It helps to scrunch the spinach in your hand first to soften the leaves, so they take up less room.
- Place the middle slice of bread on top – it's a good idea to pop it in the toaster first so it's crisp.
- Top again with the rest of the mozzarella, onion, spinach and meat, finish with the last slice of cheddar and place the final slice of bread on top, chilli side down.
- Toast the sandwiches in a sandwich toaster, or in a frying pan with a little oil, until heated through, crisp and golden.
- Serve with freshly ground pepper and rocket on top, if you like.
