Buffalo fillet steak and cheese sandwich

Juicy buffalo fillet steaks with melted cheddar, caramelized onions, and jalapeños on a crispy sandwich. This one is absolutely addictive!

INGREDIENTS

For 1 SANDWICH:

• 300 g Büffelfilet Steaks
• 1 long sandwich/baguette, homemade or purchased (see photo)
• 100g cheddar cheese
• 1 onion
• Jalapenos
• Salt
• Pfeffer
• 1 pinch of sugar
• Butter

PREPARATION

1. Remove the buffalo fillet steaks from the refrigerator 1 hour before preparation.
2. Meanwhile, for our topping, halve the onion and fry it in a pan with a little butter for 2 minutes. Then add salt and a pinch of sugar and let it caramelize over low heat with the lid on for another 20 minutes. Finally, deglaze with a small splash of balsamic vinegar and fry for a few minutes until the acidity of the balsamic vinegar evaporates.
3. Now the fillet steaks are cut into long strips and seasoned with high-quality salt 10 minutes before frying. After 10 minutes, place the steaks in a high-heat pan or on the grill (direct grilling zone) and fry for about 1.5 minutes on each side.
4. Cut the baguette open and top the bottom half with the caramelized onions. Layer the fillet strips on top of the onions, then top with the cheddar cheese. Finally, place a few jalapeño rings on top of the cheese. Don't fold the sandwich yet.
5. Now, place both halves of the sandwich on the grill for about 2 minutes or place them in the oven at maximum temperature using "grill mode" on the top shelf to melt the cheese. Once the cheese is melted, season the sandwich with a little pepper, fold it, and serve.

Enjoy your food!
