Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of steak
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 slices of tomato
- 2 leaves of lettuce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices of bread
Instructions
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sesame oil, and sriracha to create the spicy sesame sauce. Set aside and let the flavors meld.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan with bacon fat, cook the steak to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook 3-4 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal temperature (135°F for medium-rare).
- Let the steak rest for 5-7 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. Then slice thinly against the grain.
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
- Assemble the sandwich by spreading the spicy sesame sauce on both bread slices. Layer lettuce, sliced steak, tomato, and crispy bacon.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while the steak is still warm.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let your steak rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- Bacon Crispiness Hack: Cook bacon in a cold pan and gradually increase heat for perfectly crisp results every time.
- Sauce Secret: Let your spicy sesame sauce sit for 5-10 minutes before spreading to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
- Slicing Technique: Always slice steak against the grain to guarantee the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Toast Perfection: Use a cast-iron skillet or griddle for the most even and golden bread toasting.Pro tip: For an extra flavor boost, try brushing the bread with garlic-infused olive oil before toasting!
