Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium high heat. (Or heat your cast iron skillet or griddle, if cooking inside.)
While your grill is preheating, cut your flat iron steak into 4 (roughly ¼ lb) sections. With a meat mallet, pound each section to roughly ¼ inch thick. Season the steaks lightly with salt and pepper.
Make sure all of your other sandwich ingredients are prepped and easily accessible; cooking the steak goes incredibly fast.
Place your buns, cut side down on the coolest section of your grill. Remove the buns when they are lightly toasted.
Place your steaks on the hot grill and sear on the first side, roughly 2 minutes.
Flip your steaks and layer the seared side of each steak with 1 strip of bacon, 1 slice of ham, and 1 slice of mozzarella cheese. Close your grill and cook for 1-2 minutes, depending how done you like your steak. (If you like your steak closer to medium and your cheese hasn’t melted, you can always place the steak stack under your oven’s broiler to melt the cheese further.)
Spread your toasted buns with mayonnaise. Stack the lettuce, tomato, and sliced egg on the bottom bun. Top with the steak stack from the grill. And finish it off with the top bun.
Slice the sandwich in half to serve.
