It’s British Sandwich week! And what could be better that a toasted sandwich, stuffed with spicy Korean steak, jalapenos, peppers, melty cheese and garlic mayo? Nothing. Nothing is the answer. I know I posted about veggie week previously, but that starts on Monday, so I’m getting a quick meat fix before upping those veggie meals. Kind of like the Dairy Milk fix I have to do before going on a health kick….
Breville sent me their sandwich press to try, and it’s brilliant! Our previous sandwich press was one of those ones that you lock into place, creating a sealed toastie. With the Breville press, you can see whats’s going on whilst it’s toasting. It’s got three height settings, so big fat sandwiches can be toasted just as easily as your simplest toasted cheese. So of course I went for the big fat sandwich.
The steak is marinated in a bulgogi-style dressing which consists of gochuchang (a sweet and spicy Korean paste - if you haven’t tried it, give it a go, it’s amazing!), soy sauce, garlic, a little sugar and grated apple for sweetness, plus a few other goodies. The strips of steak are fried until just starting to caramelise, before being piled onto bread with peppers, onions, jalapenos and cheese. Buttering the outside of the bread ensures you get a lovely golden, crisp crust when it’s toasted in the sandwich press. Serve it with garlic mayo and sweet chilli sauce for a truly epic sarnie! If like me, you love Korean flavours why not try my Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl, Korean Style Lamb Cutlets,, Korean Crispy Chicken or my Bao Buns.
