Taste of TNF: Super-charged high roller steak sandwich

Dr. BBQ explains how to make this sandwich and discusses its Los Angeles and Las Vegas inspiration.

It seems like every celebrity chef, including FOX's own Gordon Ramsay, has a high-end steakhouse in Las Vegas. And in Los Angeles, there's a famous fast-food chain that definitely knows the "ins and outs" of the burger business.

That gave Dr. BBQ an idea and inspired him to grill up a delicious sizzlin' sandwich for this week's Chargers-Raiders Thursday Night Football matchup.  

He says the special sauce on this steak sandwich is also the perfect topping for traditional homemade burgers.  

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 thin cut ribeye steaks, about 8 ounces each
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • Oil
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices American cheese

Spread

  • ½ cup Mayo
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced white onion
  • 2 tablespoons Dill pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 4 leaves lettuce
  • 4 thin slices tomato
  • 4 thin slices raw onion

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Prepare a griddle or large skillet to cook over medium high heat. 
  2. Cut the steaks in half and season them with salt and pepper. Set aside. 
  3. In a medium bowl combine the spread ingredients and whisk until blended. Set aside
  4. Place the buns, cut side down on the griddle. Cook until toasted brown. Set aside.
  5. Drizzle a little oil on the griddle, then add the steaks. Cook until well browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steaks and top each with a slice of cheese. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes until the steaks are cook to your desired degree of doneness and the cheese is melted. 
  6. Spread a layer of spread on the bottom bun, then top it with a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Add a piece of steak and a slice of onion. Add the bun top and serve. 
  7. To make a double, just use two pieces of steak and add the onion in between them.
