Easy Steak Sandwich

This steak sandwich recipe is as good as the takeout sub shops of Southeastern Massachusetts! I think this is about as close as you can get at home. Freezing the steak the day before makes it easy to cut into very thin slices.

  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until just tender, about 2 minutes. Push onion to sides of the pan; add mushrooms and cook until softened. Stir in bell pepper and cook just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan with a slotted spoon; set aside.

  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Add steak and pickled hot peppers; season with hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until steak is mostly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vegetable mixture back into the pan; stir until heated through.

Cook’s Note

You can't go wrong with a nice tender New York steak, but I tend to look for cheap steaks with some nice marbling.

If you have time, freeze the steak. Then, with your sharpest knife, slice the frozen steak as thinly as you can.
