Buffalo fillet steak and cheese sandwich

Juicy buffalo fillet steaks with melted cheddar, caramelized onions and jalapeños on a crispy sandwich. There is an absolute risk of addiction here!

INGREDIENTS

For 1 SANDWICH:

• 300gBuffalo fillet steaks
• 1 elongated sandwich/baguette homemade or bought (see photo)
• 100g cheddar cheese
• 1 onion
• Jalapenos
• Salz
• Pepper
• 1 pinch of sugar
• Butter

PREPARATION

1. Remove the buffalo fillet steaks from the refrigerator 1 hour before preparation.
2. Meanwhile, cut the onion into halved rings for our topping and sauté in a pan with a little butter for 2 minutes. Then add salt and a pinch of sugar and let caramelize over a low heat with a lid for another 20 minutes. Finally, deglaze with a small shot of balsamic vinegar and fry for a few minutes until the acid of the balsamic vinegar evaporates.
3. Now the fillet steaks are cut into oblong strips and seasoned with high-quality salt 10 minutes before frying. After 10 minutes, place the steaks in a heated pan or on the grill (direct zone) and fry them on both sides for approx. 1.5 Minutes.
4. Cut the baguette open and top the bottom half with the caramelized onions. The fillet strips and finally the cheddar cheese are now layered on the onions. Finally, we put a few jalapeño rings on top of the cheese. However, the sandwich is not yet folded.
5. Now both halves of the sandwich are made for approx. Either placed on the grill for 2 minutes or grilled in the oven at maximum temperature in "grill mode" on the top level so that the cheese melts. As soon as the cheese has melted, the sandwich can be seasoned with a little pepper, folded up and served.

Good Appetit!
