Man v. Food

Brent and I are both big fans of Adam Richman, and his show Man v. Food. In fact, we get a lot of ideas of places we want to travel and recipes we want to adapt based on the show.

Lunch today came from the Niagara Falls episode: steak sandwich.

I do not remember the name of the restaurant, because we saw it a few months ago. In fact, we have made this sandwich three times since then, but today was the first time I did not inhale the sandwich before taking a picture. Yeah, it's that good.

It is a spin on a traditional philly cheesesteak sandwich, but just as delicious!

We buy a small beef tip cut steak (or top sirloin steak) and cut it into bite size pieces. We then fry these in butter. I leave mine plain, but Brent spices his up with black pepper, sea salt, and paprika.

While the beef is cooking, we fry up some hash browns. Plain and simple - buy some frozen hash browns, heat oil, add the tators... cook until brown.

We dress up the bun with a slice of provolone cheese (we have also added lettuce, but we did not have any today) and wait.

Once the meat is cooked we set another piece of provolone on top of it and let it sit in the hot skillet until it is melted, then we transfer the meat to the bun. After the hash browns are golden, we transfer then to a paper towel-covered plate so the excess grease can be soaked up. Top the sandwich with the hash browns and some mustard, and serve!

Nom nom nom!

Note: you can also add onions and/or green peppers, but onions are never found in our house and we didn't have a pepper.
