Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Steak: Freeze the ribeye steak for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Cut into thin strips.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, ginger, sugar, rice wine, garlic, black pepper, apple, and sesame oil. Add steak and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet and add oil. Add marinated steak and cook for 4-5 minutes until caramelized and browned. Remove from heat.
  4. Cook the Peppers: In the same skillet, add bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer sautéed peppers, cooked steak, sesame seeds, cheese, onion, jalapeños, and spring onions on buttered bread.
  6. Grill the Sandwiches: Grill over low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  7. Prepare the Garlic Mayo: Mix mayonnaise and minced garlic. Drizzle inside sandwiches after grilling before serving.
