Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye steak (or flank steak)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 medium Bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Dairy-free shredded cheese
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
• 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch (or cornstarch)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 rolls French baguette or sub rolls (dairy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are caramelized and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the dairy-free cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and tapioca starch until smooth. Bring the mixture to a light simmer while whisking continuously, then add the dairy-free shredded cheese and garlic powder. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.

Step 6

Toast the French baguette or sub rolls until lightly crispy.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches: Layer slices of steak, caramelized vegetables, and a generous drizzle of the dairy-free cheese sauce inside each roll.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful dairy-free steak and cheese sandwich!
