Steak sandwiches are one of my favorite meals, with rich, hearty steak and all the fixings. This Blackstone Steak Sandwich recipe brings the classic up to a whole new level. It's an ideal recipe for anyone who loves hearty, flavorful sandwiches with lots of protein!
Blackstone Steak Sandwich
I can't get over how good this sandwich is. The steak, seasoned with our OWYD SPG, is the star of the show. I like to cook these on the griddle, but they are just as good made indoors on the stovetop, too.
The key is to maintain medium-high heat for a good sear on the meat and a golden-brown crust on the buns. Cooking time can be adjusted based on steak thickness and the temperature you like your steak to finish at. Use the guide below and a high quality thermometer to keep an eye on things.
| STEAK TEMPERATURES | PULL | FINAL |
| RARE | 115° | 120° |
| MID-RARE | 125° | 130° |
| MEDIUM | 130° | 135° |
| MEDIUM-WELL | 135° | 140° |
| WELL | 140° | 145° |
The sandwich pairs well with a variety of sides, such as salads, fries, or roasted vegetables, making it easy to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.
This recipe is a must-try for anyone who enjoys a good steak or a great sandwich. Its straightforward preparation and the flexibility to modify and adapt to different cooking equipment and ingredients make it a versatile and appealing option for many meals.
Make it keto
For those looking for a keto option, keto buns or lettuce wraps can be substituted for the hamburger buns, or you can omit the “sandwich” portion of this completely and serve it as is.
