Grilled Steak Sandwich

This sandwich is perfect for outdoor grilling, especially when served with homemade steak sauce. Extra blackening spice and steak sauce can both be kept in airtight containers for up to 3 months. 

Ingredients

Steak Sauce:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha

Blackening Spice Rub:

  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • ¼ cup ground white pepper
  • ½ cup cracked black pepper
  • ⅓ cup cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup dried oregano
  • ½ cup garlic powder
  • ½ cup onion powder
  • ½ cup paprika
  • ½ cup ground cumin

Sandwich:

  • 6 top sirloin beef steaks (6 ounces each)
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 loaf Pugliese bread
  • 1 cup spring mix salad
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 avocados, peeled and sliced

Preparation

To make the steak sauce, combine all ingredients and let the flavors blend; this can be done a day in advance.

For the blackening spice rub, mix all spices together and store in an airtight container until needed.

For the sandwich, rub the spice blend generously on the steaks and grill 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. While the meat is cooking, rub spice on onion slices and grill with the steak.

When meat is cooked, let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 5 slices for each sandwich.

Slice bread and toast on grill.

Build sandwich with bread first, followed by spring mix, tomatoes, steak, onions, and avocado. Serve homemade steak sauce on the side.
