Ingredients

To create this steak sandwich masterpiece, you will need the following ingredients:

  • NY Strip Steaks
  • Killer Hogs AP Seasoning and Steak Rub
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Olive Oil
  • Ciabatta Rolls
  • Onions
  • Bell Peppers
  • Butter
  • Flour
  • Beer
  • Heavy Cream
  • Mustard
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Blue Plate Mayonnaise
  • Chipotle Peppers
  • Cayenne Pepper

Directions

  1. Fire up your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, let’s prepare the vegetables.
  2. Slice the onions and bell peppers into thin strips. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred. Set them aside.
  3. Season the NY Strip Steaks generously with Killer Hogs AP Seasoning and Steak Rub. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and a touch of olive oil. Massage the seasoning into the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  4. Grill the steaks to your desired level of doneness. For a juicy, medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes.
  5. While the steaks are resting, let’s prepare the beer cheese sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until it forms a paste. Gradually add beer, heavy cream, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Killer Hogs AP Seasoning. Whisk until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Now it’s time to make the chipotle mayo. In a blender or food processor, combine Blue Plate Mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, Worcestershire sauce, steak rub, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Blend until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  7. To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on one side of the ciabatta rolls. Slice the medium-rare steaks against the grain into thin strips. Place the steak slices on the bottom half of the rolls. Top with grilled peppers and onions. Finish it off by drizzling the beer cheese sauce over the toppings.
  8. Place the top half of the ciabatta roll on the sandwich and press gently to seal it all together. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • Prep the steak seasoning and vegetables ahead of time to save time and make cooking at the tailgate a breeze.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add more chipotle peppers or cayenne pepper to the chipotle mayo.
  • The beer cheese sauce can be made in advance and reheated when needed. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • For extra melty cheese goodness, you can place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for a minute or two.
