New Jersey Style Steak Bomb

Ingredients

In this New Jersey adaptation of the Steak Bomb, we incorporate the flavors and ingredients commonly found in the cuisine of the Garden State. We add a touch of sweetness with caramelized onions, which is a staple in many New Jersey dishes. Additionally, we use a variety of peppers, such as bell peppers and hot cherry peppers, to give the sandwich a subtle heat that reflects the state's love for bold flavors.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Steak — For a tender and juicy steak, make sure to slice it thinly against the grain.
• Bell peppers — Use a mix of green and red bell peppers for a vibrant and flavorful combination.
• Hot cherry peppers — If you prefer a spicier kick, include hot cherry peppers in the sautéed peppers mixture.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, marinate the steak in your favorite steak marinade for a few hours before cooking.
• If you prefer a milder heat, remove the seeds from the hot cherry peppers before slicing.
• Toast the crusty rolls before assembling the sandwich for an extra crunch.
