Typically what you discover within the market is steak shaved off a frozen block of pork scrap pieces. They placed the scraps collectively appropriate into a sq. shape, freeze it and slice it paper thin. What you get after the meat thaws out is much of weepy hard pieces. In my opinion, the greatest choice for shaved steak is a rib eye that you've got a butcher shave for you. It chefs up fast and is tremendous tender and flavorful.

What is a Steak Bomb Sandwich?
A Steak Bomb Sandwich is a hot and messy steak sub or sandwich made with shaved steak and melted provolone cheese, plus sautéed onions, sautéed inexperienced bell peppers and mushrooms. It’s virtually ‘the bomb’ (aka very, very delicious) and that’s what impressed the name.

According to 1 faculty of thought, the Steak Bomb Sandwich is believed to have originated in New Haven, Connecticut at a burger restaurant referred to as Louis’ Lunch.  (Another thrilling tidbit: Louis’ Lunch also claims to have invented the primary hamburger!)

But the Steak Bomb Sandwich is so loved during all of New England, plenty of different sub retailers have tried to declare it as their very own invention. Jitto’s Restaurant in Portsmouth, New Hampshire calls itself “The Home of the Steak Bomb.” And USA Subs in Derry, New Hampshire even went to this point as to get a trademark on the identify – simply to get a leg up on their region competition!

Some types of the Steak Bomb Sandwich contain salami within the blend for some brought zesty flavor. And at most sub retailers in New England, you'll be ready to order it with or with out ‘hots’ (hot pepper relish).

How do you make a Steak Bomb Sandwich?
Our Steak Bomb Sandwich combines tender shaved steak, melted provolone cheese, caramelized onions and peppers and mushrooms that we sautéed in bourbon, plus we slathered our do-it-yourself roasted garlic aioli onto the roll. (Don’t you desire to take a chunk out of this proper now?)

Just use your favourite sandwich or sub roll for this recipe.  Here in New England we all the time cross for ‘bulkie rolls’ from Rhode Island-based Calise Bakery (they are the best!) but any Kaiser, hoagie, sub, grinder, or comfortable crusty sandwich roll will do, as lengthy because it might grasp as much as the juicy filling on this loaded steak and cheese sandwich.

What sort of steak do you use whilst making a Steak Bomb Sandwich?
Some sub retailers use steak ideas for his or her Steak Bomb Sandwich, but a good-quality, shaved ribeye steak is regular (and simpler to eat).

Don’t be embarrassed to purchase pre-shaved steak on the grocery store, or out of your butcher. Most residence chefs (including us) aren’t capable to hand shave the ribeye steak thin sufficient for this style of sandwich (unless you occur to own a meat slicer).  Just be certain you purchase shaved steak and never the pre-ground steak it's shaped into strips – it’s truly no longer the similar tender cut of pork which you simply desire to make use of whilst making this Steak Bomb Sandwich.

Served with our Roasted French-Style Potatoes (and somewhat Roasted Garlic Aioli on the facet for dipping) – here is a hearty and delicious meal!
