1.5 pounds skirt steak, trimmed

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 ciabatta rolls, split
  • Your favorite mayonnaise
  • Your favorite hot sauce

  • Preparation:

    1. Marinate the Steak: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, Sriracha, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the skirt steak and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
    2. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
    3. Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
    4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on each ciabatta roll. Top with the grilled steak, sautéed vegetables, and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce. Serve immediately.
