Ingredients
-2 slices of sourdough bread
-1-2 tablespoons organic butter, softened
-1-2 tablespoons pesto
-4-6 ounces cooked steak (flank, ribeye, or your choice), thinly sliced
-1-3 large slices or about 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, provolone, or white cheddar)
-Optional: sliced tomatoes and/or arugula for extra freshness
Instructions
1. Prepare the Bread:
-Spread a thin layer of organic butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
2. Assemble the Sandwich:
-On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread the pesto evenly.
-Layer the sliced steak over the pesto.
-Add the shredded cheese on top of the steak.
-If desired, add sliced tomatoes or a handful of arugula.
-Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
3. Grill the Sandwich:
-Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
-Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
-Flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown.
4. Serve:
-Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half.
-Serve warm and enjoy! Pairs great with next week’s homemade tomato soup recipe! Be sure to tune in!
Tips
-For added flavor, marinate the steak before cooking or season it with salt and pepper. I marinated mine in steak seasoning and lightly salted chicken broth.
-You can use a panini press for an even more pressed and crispy sandwich.
-Experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite combination.
Enjoy your delicious steak and pesto grilled cheese sandwich!
