Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lbs top sirloin steak
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 soft hoagie rolls split

Method
 

  1. Freeze the sirloin for 30 minutes and slice it paper-thin across the grain.
  2. Heat the oil on a griddle over medium-high heat and cook the onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt for 8 minutes until deeply golden, then transfer it to a plate.
  3. Toss the shredded cheddar with the cornstarch in a small saucepan, add the evaporated milk and garlic powder, and stir over low heat until smooth and thick enough to coat a spoon.
  4. Spread the beef on the hot griddle, season with the remaining salt and black pepper, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until browned and at least 145°F.
  5. Fold the fried onion into the beef and divide the mixture among the rolls.
  6. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons warm cheese sauce over each sandwich and serve before the sauce tightens.
