These cute little, open-face beef sandwiches are simply irresistible when sprinkled with Sargento® Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also incredibly aromatic and the textures of tender beef, gooey cheese and crispy crust are a winning combination. Your guests will snatch these toasts up quickly and with enthusiasm, so prepare the chef for incoming compliments.
Ingredients
- 32 slices Italian bread (1/2-inch thick)
- 6 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1-1/4 cups drained giardiniera
- 2 tsp. bottled minced roasted garlic
- 2 boneless beef top sirloin steaks, cut 3/4-inch thick (about 1 lb. each)
- 3-1/2 cups (14 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese
Directions
- Place bread slices on two 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll pans. Brush tops with combined butter and roasted garlic. Toast bread slices in preheated 425°F oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
- Place beef steaks on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 8 inches from heat. Broil about 9 to 12 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.
- Carve each steak into 32 thin slices. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Top toast slices evenly with half of cheese. Top each toast slice with 2 steak slices and 1 teaspoon giardiniera. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over toasts.
- Place 1 jelly roll pan on rack so cheese is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining pan. Serve immediately.
