Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 whole lime juiced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½-1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (adjust to your tastes)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 16 ounces beef fillet steak, cut into 4 pieces Rump, Eye Fillet, or Scotch Fillet
- 1 medium brown onion sliced
- ½ large red bell pepper deseeded and sliced
- ½ large yellow bell pepper deseeded and sliced
- ½ large green bell pepper deseeded and sliced
- 8 lices day-old sourdough bread
- 1 whole ripe avocado sliced
- 8 lices mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup salsa Dip
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt/sour cream
- fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- In a large shallow dish, whisk together the olive oil, Worcestershire, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili/pepper flakes, salt and sugar until combined. Pour half of the marinade over the beef fillets, turning them to coat evenly. Add the capsicums/peppers with the onion to the remaining marinade and coat evenly. Cook immediately OR marinade for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator (or over night) for a deeper flavour.
- Heat a pan (cast iron) or heavy skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in 2 teaspoons oil. Add the capsicums/peppers and onion and fry for a few minutes, until they're cooked but still crunchy and vibrant in colour and have nice chargrilled marks on them. Remove to a warm plate and set aside.
- In the same pan over high heat, add a little extra oil (to prevent sticking), and fry the meat in batches until cooked to your liking. Remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, and then slice thinly.
- Preheat grill/sandwich press, and prepare sandwiches with the capsicums/peppers and onions, steak slices, Greek yoghurt/sour cream, avocado slices, cheese and coriander/cilantro leaves. Place them into the grill/press and cook until warm and cheese has melted through.
- Serve with limes, extra Greek yogurt/sour cream and salsa!

Notes
- For extra gooey melted cheese cut mozzarella slices THICK. The thicker the cheese slice the more cheesy melted goodness!
