How to Prepare

1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
2. To this mix, add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for another 2 minutes. Once done, set this mix aside.
3. In the same skillet, place your thinly sliced steak. Depending on the thickness, it should take about 3-4 minutes on each side to cook to a medium-rare finish. Once cooked to your liking, set the steak aside.
4. Lay out your slices of bread. On one side, layer two slices of Pepper Jack cheese, followed by half the steak slices, and then half of your onion-pepper mix.
5. Place another two slices of Pepper Jack cheese on top to ensure the Pepper Jack Steak Grilled Cheese has ample melty goodness.
6. Top with the second slice of bread. On the outer parts of both bread slices, spread a generous helping of butter.
7. In a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat, place your assembled Pepper Jack Steak Grilled Cheese. Grill each side until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted. This should take about 3-4 minutes on each side.
8. Once cooked to perfection, remove from the skillet, let it sit for a minute, then slice in half and serve!

Tips

1. For an even richer flavor, consider marinating your steak slices in a mix of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a hint of paprika for about an hour before cooking.
2. Feel free to add some thinly sliced tomatoes or lettuce for a fresh crunch in your Pepper Jack Steak Grilled Cheese.
3. Using a cast iron skillet will give your Pepper Jack Steak Grilled Cheese an even, crispy finish.

Serving Suggestions

• Consider pairing your Pepper Jack Steak Grilled Cheese with a fresh green salad or a tangy coleslaw to balance out the heat.
• A cold, refreshing iced tea or lemonade would complement the spicy kick of the Pepper Jack beautifully.
• If you’re in the mood for a side dish, sweet potato fries or a simple vegetable soup could be your go-to.
