Ingredients
2 lbs flap steak (cut into strips)
Thundering Longhorn Beef Rub by Fire and Smoke Society (or your favorite beef seasoning)
2 bell peppers (sliced)
1 medium sweet onion (sliced)
12 slices Pepper Jack cheese
4 ciabatta buns
Mayo
Guacamole salsa
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients before cooking. Make sure the flap steak is cut into thin strips, and slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips as well.
Step 2
Season the steak generously with Thundering Longhorn Beef Rub or your preferred beef seasoning. Rub the seasoning into the meat using your hands, making sure it's evenly distributed.
Step 3
Cut the ciabatta buns in half and set them aside.
Step 4
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over high heat. You want the griddle to be hot before adding the ingredients.
Step 5
Once the griddle is hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the griddle. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are slightly softened but still have a bit of crunch to them. You don't want them to be too soft.
Step 6
Season the veggies with salt and pepper to taste. Remove them from the griddle and set them aside on a plate or in a bowl.
Step 7
Add the seasoned flap steak to the griddle and cook it for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it's nicely seared. You want the steak to be browned and slightly crispy on the outside, but still juicy and tender on the inside.
Step 8
Once the steak is seared, add the sautéed veggies back onto the griddle with the steak. Mix everything together for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Divide the steak and veggie mixture into 4 equal piles on the griddle. Each pile should be big enough to fit on a ciabatta bun.
Step 10
Top each pile with 3 slices of Pepper Jack cheese. Allow the cheese to melt over the steak and veggies for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 11
While the cheese is melting, toast the ciabatta buns. You can do this on the griddle or in a toaster oven.
Step 12
To assemble each sandwich, spread a generous amount of mayo on the bottom half of each bun. You can use regular mayo or flavored mayo if you prefer.
Step 13
Add a pile of the steak and veggie mixture on top of the mayo. Make sure to include some of the melted cheese in each sandwich.
Step 14
Finish each sandwich with a generous spoonful of guacamole salsa on top of the steak mixture.
Step 15
Top each sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta bun, and serve hot.
