Steak Toastie

Recipe by Andy Cooks on InstagramAdded 15 November 2026.

10 minutes to prep, 15 to cook. A hearty steak toastie that layers seared beef, caramelized onions, melted cheese, and fresh herbs between buttery toasted bread. The orange spread adds a tangy creaminess, making this sandwich a satisfying, quick‑cook lunch or dinner option.

Method

  1. Melt butter in a hot pan and add the raw beef steak, searing it on both sides.

  2. Cover the pan with a lid to finish cooking the steak.

  3. Fry the sausage in the same pan until browned.

  4. Sauté the sliced red onions until caramelized.

  5. Finely chop the green herbs and set aside.

  6. Slice the cooked steak on a cutting board.

  7. Place two slices of bread on a cutting board and spread the orange-colored spread on one side of each slice.

  8. Arrange the sliced cooked steak and caramelized onions on the spread-covered bread.

  9. Press down on the steak with a kitchen tool to compact the filling.

  10. Grate hard cheese over the steak and onions.

  11. Sprinkle the chopped green herbs over the spread.

  12. Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, press the halves together, and then press the sandwich in a hot pan until the bread is toasted and the cheese melts.

Tips while you cook

Dry steak before slicing
Pat the cooked steak dry before slicing.
Control heat while toasting
Press the sandwich firmly in the pan and keep the heat medium‑low.
Season caramelized onions
Add a pinch of salt to the caramelized onions to enhance their sweetness.
Thin orange spread if needed
If the orange spread is too thick, thin it with a splash of milk for easier spreading.
