How do I get the steak perfectly thin?
An easy hack is to place the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes which firms it up for easier slicing. Use a sharp knife to slice across the grain into thin strips.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 yellow onion, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 12 Hawaiian sweet slider buns, sliced horizontally
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces American cheese slices
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- Start by slicing the sirloin against the grain into thin strips. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
- While the meat chills, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, garlic paste, sriracha, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions with a drizzle of oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
- Raise heat to high. Add the sliced sirloin to the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Split the slider buns and spread both halves with the sriracha mayo mixture.
- Layer the bottom buns with 2-3 slices American cheese, steak, sautéed veggies, and shredded mozzarella.
- Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. While baking, melt 1 stick of butter with garlic paste and parsley.
- Remove from oven, brush with garlic-parsley butter and bake 5-6 minutes more until cheese melts and buns are golden brown. Enjoy!
Cooking Tips:
- Let steak sit at room temp for 10-15 minutes before cooking for more even cooking.
- Use a combo of cheeses like provolone, Swiss, and cheddar for more flavor.
- Sauté some sliced mushrooms or jalapeños for tasty additions.
- Try ciabatta, pretzel, or any small sturdy buns for variety.
- Cook meat and veggies in batches for better sear.
- Brush rolls with olive oil or melted butter before baking for extra browning.
- Assemble up to 6 hours ahead and refrigerate before baking.
