Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 8 oz ribeye steak
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
Bread and Seasonings:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Additions:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic butter by thoroughly blending minced garlic, softened butter, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper into a smooth, fragrant mixture.
- Generously coat both sides of sourdough bread slices with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Season the ribeye steak with additional salt and pepper, allowing the seasoning to penetrate the meat for enhanced flavor.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan to high heat (around 450°F), then sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
- Remove steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- In the same skillet, place one slice of buttered bread, layering provolone and cheddar cheeses on top of the bread.
- Arrange the sliced steak carefully over the melting cheese, creating an even distribution of meat.
- Top with the second slice of buttered bread, grilling until the bread turns golden brown and crispy and cheese completely melts, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice diagonally.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped chives for an additional burst of flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Experiment with different bread types like ciabatta or rye for unique texture and flavor profiles, enhancing the overall sandwich experience.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to lock in juices, ensuring maximum tenderness and preventing dry meat when slicing.
- For a leaner option, substitute ribeye with sirloin or flank steak, which offers similar rich flavor with less fat content.
- Use a meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness, avoiding overcooking and maintaining the steak’s optimal juiciness and tenderness.
