Easy Steak Sandwich
Description
This sandwich starts by seasoning and cooking sirloin steak slices to desired doneness. Ham and mozzarella slices are warmed on the steak just before removing it from the pan, allowing the cheese to melt. A sunny side fried egg adds richness and a silky texture. The sandwich is assembled on toasted French bread spread with mayonnaise, layered with romaine lettuce and tomato slices for freshness and slight crunch.
The interplay between warm, melted cheese and meats complements the crispness of vegetables and the toasted bread’s crust. Mayonnaise adds moisture and subtle tang. Serving with fries or mandioca frita adds a fulfilling accompaniment.
To maintain freshness when storing leftovers, components like lettuce and tomato should be kept separate and fresh. Reheating is best done gently in an oven, wrapped loosely to avoid bread drying. Preparing parts ahead and assembling just before serving helps retain texture and flavors.
Ingredients
- sirloin steak rib-eye, or Filet Mignon, about 4 oz. and sliced ¼-inch thick, sliced, cooked
- bread French Bread), toasted, crusty
- 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
- egg sunny side fried

Instructions
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. In a greased cast-iron skillet or on a grill, cook the steaks over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or the desired degree of doneness.
- Before removing the steaks from the skillet, place the slices of ham and cheese on top of the beef to warm them. Remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest while preparing the sunny side fried eggs.
- To serve, place the steak with the ham and cheese on the bottom of the bread that has been generously smeared with mayonnaise, top with lettuce, tomato, and fried egg, and the other half of the bread smear with more mayonnaise. Accompany with Mandioca Frita or French Fries!
Notes
- Store sandwich components separately in airtight containers within the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days to preserve textures.
- When reheating, use a low-temperature oven with the sandwich covered loosely in foil to keep the bread from becoming dry.
- Prepare steak, ham, egg, and vegetables ahead and assemble fresh before serving for best quality.
- Keep lettuce and tomato separate from the steak when storing leftovers to maintain freshness.
