What Steak makes the best Steak Sandwich?

beef tenderloin

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: sirloin

Chicken breast is leaner and more affordable than tenderloin.

ciabatta bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain offers more fiber, while white bread is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Avocado provides healthy fats, while processed cheese is budget-friendly.

Slice the beef into thin strips using a cleaver, ensuring to cut against the grain for tenderness.

Thaw the flat iron, ribeye, and flank steak slightly in the fridge for easier slicing.

Dice one white onion into medium pieces for frying.

Heat 30 grams (about 2 tablespoons) of beef tallow in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted.

Add the diced onions to the skillet with a sprinkle of salt and let them brown on one side for 2-3 minutes.

Flip the onions and reduce the heat to low, cooking for an additional 5-8 minutes until they are browned but still have a bite.

In a separate pan, heat 200 grams of whole milk over medium heat until it simmers.

Add Velveeta cheese to the simmering milk to create the cheese sauce, stirring until smooth.

Prepare ciabatta bread by toasting it lightly before assembling the sandwich.

Layer the sliced beef on the bottom half of the toasted ciabatta bread.

Top the beef with the fried onions, followed by greens and chimichurri sauce.

Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
