Tips to Make Your Steak Sandwich Even Better
Choose the Right Cut of Steak
For the best results, use a tender cut like ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip. These cuts are well-marbled and offer great flavor when cooked to medium-rare. Slicing the steak thinly after cooking ensures that it’s easy to bite into and blends perfectly with the other ingredients.
Don’t Skip the Resting Time
After cooking the steak, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This step locks in the juices, giving you a tender and flavorful steak. Skipping this step may result in dry or unevenly cooked meat.
Customize the Cheese Sauce
While cheddar and mozzarella create a smooth, creamy base for the cheese sauce, you can experiment with other cheeses like provolone or pepper jack to add a hint of sharpness or spice.
Add Veggies for Extra Nutrition
To make this meal a little healthier, you can add sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions to your sandwich. These veggies not only add flavor but also boost the nutritional value of the dish.
Toast the Bread for the Perfect Crunch
Lightly buttering and toasting the bread ensures a crispy exterior that balances the rich fillings. A crunchy texture makes the sandwich even more enjoyable.
Serves: 1

Prep: 10M
Cook: 35M
- 1 lb steak
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 small bowl of cooked macaroni pasta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 cups peeled tomatoes
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 3 tbsp chopped basil
- 1 loaf of bread
- 10 slices of cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- 3 sprigs of rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Season the steak evenly with salt and black pepper. Take out the ThermoPro TP970 TempSpike Plus Wireless Meat Thermometer and insert the probe into the center of the steak.
Connect the meat thermometer to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Open the ThermoPro App and set the target temperature to 135°F (57°C), the ideal temperature for medium-rare steak.
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for 1 minute on each side. For thicker cuts, sear the edges as well to get a nice color. Avoid flipping too often. During the cooking process, add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to enhance the flavor of the steak.
When the ThermoPro App alerts you that the steak has reached the target temperature, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This ensures even color and juiciness.
Then, slice the steak into thin strips.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the pasta. You can add a pinch of salt to the water for extra flavor. Cook for 8 minutes, then drain.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir constantly until fully combined, forming a smooth paste. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously. Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth, velvety white sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to add extra depth of flavor. Stir well. Add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Set aside half of the cheese sauce. Add the cooked macaroni pasta to the remaining sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.
Heat a saucepan and add butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the peeled tomatoes and bring to a boil. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh basil. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
Spread softened butter on the bread and toast it in the oven until golden and crispy.
Spread a layer of tomato sauce evenly over the bottom slice of the toasted bread. Add the sliced steak on top of the tomato sauce.
Spread another layer of tomato sauce over the steak, followed by a layer of cheese slices. Place the sandwich in the oven and heat until the cheese melts. Take out the sandwich from the oven and add a generous portion of the cheesy macaroni mixture on top.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle with some of the reserved cheese sauce. Top with the other half of the bread to complete the sandwich.
