When I’ve been grilling lately, I always end up with a little leftover steak. I’m always apprehensive reheating steak because I overcook it and it comes out tough. But if I slice it very thin and pile it delicately onto a toasted ciabatta, it makes for a killer sandwich. Even better, if I have some leftover grilled red bell peppers and onions I blitz them into smoky, spicy mayo and it elevates the leftover steak and gives it new life! I hope you enjoy this sandwich as much as my family does, maybe you’ll even grill an extra steak just so you have enough leftovers to make this juicy sammy.
