Beef Sandwich with Bacon and Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
• 8 slices bacon
• 4 pieces sandwich bread or rolls
• 4 slices cheese slices (such as cheddar or provolone)
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 1 medium onion
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 1 lb beef steak with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the 8 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, cook the seasoned steak over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

4. 4

   While the steak rests, slice the 1 medium onion into thin rings. In a small bowl, mix the 4 tbsp mayonnaise with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Toast the 4 bread pieces in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden, about 2 minutes. Spread the seasoned mayonnaise on the cut sides.

6. 6

   Layer the lettuce leaves, sliced beef, crispy bacon, onion rings, and 4 cheese slices on the bottom bread. Top with the other bread and press gently.

7. 7

   If you like, place the assembled sandwiches in a warm skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.
