Ingredients
- 300g beef steak, thinly sliced
- 8 slices of bread (white or whole grain)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of cheese (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes, then set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Place a lettuce leaf on four slices, followed by the cooked beef, sautéed vegetables, and a slice of cheese if using. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
Step 4: Toast the Sandwich
Optional: Toast the sandwiches on a skillet or grill pan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.
Step 5: Serve
Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve warm. Pair with chips, a side salad, or your favorite beverage.
