There are a few important components necessary for the perfect steak and cheese sandwich. These Steak and Cheese Croissants hit all the marks and make for the ultimate lunch or dinner!
Steak and cheese sandwiches always sound like such a good idea until I order one and am left completely unsatisfied. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a totally bland and “meh” steak and cheese that leaves me wishing I had simply ordered my standard go-to BLT. I’ve learned the hard way that the only way to get a steak and cheese that I love is to make it myself (that said, I don’t think I’ve ever had a steak and cheese from Philly, so obviously that could change things!). The good news is, they’re incredibly easy to make at home and don’t require a lot of ingredients.
Ingredients
1/2 large white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 large green pepper, thinly sliced
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 lb. thinly sliced rib-eye or skirt steak
6 slices sharp cheddar, American, or provolone cheese
2 croissants, lightly toasted
Instructions
Heat olive oil on a griddle or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and cook until onions are caramelized, about 6 minutes.
Add garlic, salt, and pepper, cook and stir for about 30 seconds. Push the veggies to the side of the pan.
Add steak to pan, cooking while breaking up the meat with the back of 2 spatulas, until no longer pink. Once cooked through, mix in the peppers and onions.
Top the steak and veggies with slices of cheese and let melt.
Divide steak and veggies between the two croissants.
Enjoy !
