KOREAN STEAK SANDWICH WITH JALAPENOS AND GARLIC MAYO

It’s British Sandwich week! And what could be better that a toasted sandwich, stuffed with spicy Korean steak, jalapenos, peppers, melty cheese and garlic mayo?

Nothing. Nothing is the answer.

I know I posted about veggie week previously, but that starts on Monday, so I’m getting a quick meat fix before upping those veggie meals. Kind of like the Dairy Milk fix I have to do before going on a health kick….

Breville sent me their sandwich press to try, and it’s brilliant! Our previous sandwich press was one of those ones that you lock into place, creating a sealed toastie.
With the Breville press, you can see whats’s going on whilst it’s toasting. It’s got three height settings, so big fat sandwiches can be toasted just as easily as your simplest toasted cheese.

So of course I went for the big fat sandwich.

Ingredients

• 2 medium ribeye steaks
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp gochujang paste
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger peeled and minced
• 2 tbsp light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp rice wine
• 3 garlic cloves peeled and minced
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 grated sweet apple no need to peel
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 red bell pepper de-seeded and sliced
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper de-seeded and sliced
• 4 thick slices of bread from a large loaf I used tiger bread
• 2 tbsp salted butter melted
• 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
• 75 g mature cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/2 small red onion peeled and sliced
• 2 small jalapenos sliced
• 3 spring onions scallions, sliced into thin strips
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp sweet chilli sauce

Instructions

1. Place the steaks in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up (this will make it easier to slice thinly).
2. After 30 minutes, remove from the freezer and carefully slice into thin (2mm) strips. Place in bowl and add the soy sauce, gochujang, ginger, sugar, rice wine, 2 of the minced garlic cloves, black pepper, grated apple and sesame oil. Mix together, cover and allow to marinate for 30 minutes (place in the fridge if marinating for longer than that).
