Ingredients
- 500 g beef (thinly sliced or thin steaks)
- 4 sandwich rolls or burger buns
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Butter (for toasting the bread)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
In a bowl, marinate the beef slices with paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and caramelized. Add the minced garlic in the last minute and cook for another 30 seconds. Set the vegetables aside.
Step 3: Cook the Beef
In the same pan, add a little more oil and cook the marinated beef slices for 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches
Butter the sandwich rolls or burger buns and toast them lightly on a pan until golden brown. Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each roll. Layer the cooked beef slices, followed by the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Top with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Step 5: Serve
Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich, cut in half if desired, and serve hot with a side of fries or a fresh salad.
FAQs
Can I use chicken instead of beef?
Yes, you can substitute chicken breast or thighs for the beef. However, it will change the flavor of the sandwich slightly, but it will still be delicious.
Can I prepare this sandwich ahead of time?
While the sandwich is best served fresh, you can prepare the beef and vegetables in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready, simply assemble and toast the bread before serving.
Can I add cheese to this sandwich?
Yes, you can add cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, to the sandwich for a cheesy twist. Just place the cheese on top of the beef and let it melt slightly before serving.
How can I make this sandwich spicier?
To add spice, you can increase the amount of black pepper or add chili flakes or hot sauce to the beef marinade.
Can I use whole wheat bread for a healthier option?
Yes, whole wheat bread is a great healthier alternative to regular white bread, and it will still work well with this recipe.
