Toasty, juicy, and smothered in melty Provolone and a homemade garlic aioli. If there's one steak sandwich recipe to commit to memory, this is it. Our recipe makes three sandwiches, so plan to share (or, you know, don't). It's also the best way to give leftover steak new life. There is nothing that doesn't taste better as a sandwich the next day. Toasty bread, melty cheese, and a killer sauce are all life giving. 

Season Your Steak Thoroughly

Don't skimp on the salt and pepper. A good dusting of both will take your sandwich's flavor to the next level.

Slice Against The Grain

It's terrible to bite into a steak sandwich and spend 30 seconds trying to a chew a single bite. The best way to avoid this is slicing your steak against the grain. It keeps the steak tender and also looks amazing!

Directions

    1. Step 1Make the aioli: With a mortar and pestle, mash garlic with salt until a paste forms. Transfer paste to a small bowl and whisk in olive oil, mayonnaise, and lemon zest, then season with pepper.
    2. Step 2Make the steak: Brush steak with oil and season with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, sear both sides. Cook 3 minutes per side to the desired internal temperature and remove from heat. Let steak rest 15 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain in 2" sections.
    3. Step 3Assemble the sandwich: Lightly butter rolls and toast in a Krups toaster oven until golden. Place skirt steak on the bottom half of each roll and place 2 slices provolone on top.
    4. Step 4Put back in toaster oven to melt cheese. Remove from oven and top with arugula and peppers. Generously spread aioli on top half of rolls before topping the finished sandwiches.
