Ribeye Steak Sandwich

No ratings yet

We love this Ribeye Steak Sandwich which is loaded with juicy ribeye, melty cheese, favorite leafy greens, and a simple mayonnaise sauce to tie it together. Simple butter or herb butter would work in a pinch if you're not a mayo fan. My kids love this sandwich, and it makes a great summer lunch or dinner!

Ingredients

Ribeye Steak

2 ribeye steaks about 8 ounces each*
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Bread, Cheese and Greens

4 ciabatta rolls***
8 slices provolone cheese
1 cup green salad mix I used mixed greens with baby spinach, chard, and kale**
¼ cup red onions thinly sliced

Mayonnaise Sauce

¼ cup mayonnaise
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce use your favorite hot sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions

Ribeye Steak

Bring the ribeye steaks to room temperature 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. Pat both sides of the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Season both sides of each steak evenly with the seasoning mix.
Place a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up until smoking hot. Add the steaks, pressing each steak into the pan once it touches it. Let them cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover them with aluminum foil to keep them warm and to let the juices redistribute.

Toast Bread

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
Cut each ciabatta roll in half. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Top the bottom half of each roll with two overlapping slices of provolone cheese.
Place the bread in the oven and let it bake until it is toasted and the cheese is melted. It takes about 5 minutes.

Mayonnaise Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients of the mayonnaise sauce.

Build Sandwiches

Slice the rested ribeye steaks thinly against the grain.
To build a sandwich, add sliced ribeye to the half of the bread with melty cheese. Add a handful of greens and some thinly sliced red onions. Smear about a tablespoon of mayonnaise sauce on the top half of the bread. Place the top half over the loaded bottom half, and enjoy!

Notes

*I love getting grass-fed ribeye steak from Aldi's. It's the most affordable grass-fed ribeye I have found in a grocery store, and it yields the perfect juicy steak every time! I highly recommend it if you have an Aldi's nearby.

** You can use any mixed greens pack you like, or just one kind of green, like arugula, lettuce, or spinach. A spring mix would work well in this sandwich, too!

***Ciabatta is a nice sturdy bread to hold the sandwich. But if you can't find the rolls, get a loaf of ciabatta or Italian bread and slice to use. You could also use other kinds of bread like hoagie rolls or even dinner rolls.
