Ingredients
- 2 thick-cut beef steaks
- 4 strips bacon
- 2 eggs
- 150 g seasoned ground beef
- 3 slices cheese
- 50 g shredded cheese
- 1 onion
- 2 smoked spicy peppers
- to taste salt and black pepper
Instructions
- 1Slice the Steak Horizontally
Place a cooked steak on a wooden cutting board and carefully slice it in half horizontally with a sharp knife to create two flat pieces that will serve as the bun.
Tip: Make sure the cut is even so both halves hold together securely as a bun. - 2Layer the Onions and Peppers
Take freshly sautéed onions and smoked spicy peppers and place them directly onto the bottom slice of the steak on the cutting board.
Tip: Ensure the onions and peppers are warm so they begin to slightly soften the surface of the steak. - 3Melt the Cheese
Place a slice of cheese directly over the layer of peppers and onions, then use a handheld butane torch to melt the cheese until gooey and bubbling.
Tip: Keep the torch moving continuously to avoid burning the cheese while achieving an even melt. - 4Add Crispy Bacon
Layer multiple strips of freshly cooked crispy bacon on top of the melted cheese layer.
Tip: Drain excess grease from the bacon on a paper towel beforehand to keep the sandwich texture crisp. - 5Top with Fried Eggs
Carefully place two fried eggs on top of the crispy bacon layer.
Tip: Keep the egg yolks slightly runny so they enrich the sandwich when cut or bitten into. - 6Add and Melt Final Cheese Layer
Place another slice of cheese on top of the fried eggs and use the handheld butane torch to melt it completely.
Tip: Melt the cheese evenly so it acts as a binder for the top steak piece. - 7Add Cooked Seasoned Ground Beef
Take a spoonful of previously cooked seasoned ground beef and place it directly on top of the layer of cheese resting on the steak slice.
Tip: Ensure the ground beef is hot so it begins melting the cheese beneath it. - 8Melt Shredded Cheese with a Torch
Sprinkle an ample amount of shredded cheese over the seasoned ground beef, then use a culinary torch to evenly melt the cheese until bubbling and golden.
Tip: Keep the culinary torch moving constantly to prevent burning the cheese while achieving an even melt.
