Description

This Steak Grilled Cheese is the ultimate comfort sandwich. Juicy, sliced steak is layered with gooey melted cheese between golden, buttery grilled bread. It’s quick, indulgent, and packed with flavor — perfect for lunch, dinner, or whenever you’re craving something seriously satisfying.


Ingredients

  • 8 slices thick sandwich bread (sourdough, Texas toast, or rustic white)

  • 2 tbsp butter, softened

  • 1 lb cooked steak, thinly sliced (ribeye, sirloin, or leftover steak)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or provolone cheese

  • 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if sautéing onions)

  • Optional add-ons: sautéed mushrooms, horseradish mayo, or garlic aioli


Instructions

  1. Optional – Sauté the onions: In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and golden, about 6–8 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Assemble sandwiches: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer shredded cheese, sliced steak, and optional sautéed onions or mushrooms. Add a second layer of cheese on top for extra melt. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.

  3. Grill the sandwiches: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. Serve: Slice and serve hot with chips, fries, or a side of creamy dipping sauce.


Notes

  • Use leftover grilled or pan-seared steak for quick assembly.

  • Want some spice? Add sliced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.

  • Great with garlic butter on the bread for extra flavor!
