Grilling season is upon us, and we’re lighting the fire. Gathering around the fire pit with friends or family on a warm summer evening is unmatched. But what makes it even better? Cooking dinner, sharing stories, and digging in for a delicious meal together.

This steak sandwich can be cooked and assembled right by the fire. With flame-roasted red peppers, slices of steak, a creamy pesto sauce, and fresh arugula, it’s the ideal vibrant sandwich to dig into this summer.

*This recipe makes two sandwiches

Equipment

Bonfire 2.0, Cast Iron Grill Top + Hub

Ingredients

2 ciabatta buns

1 New York steak

1 red bell pepper

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons pesto

1 cup fresh arugula

2 slices Swiss cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil

Step 1: Build a fire

Build a fire in your Solo Stove fire pit. Start by burning 3-4 logs, allowing them to reduce down just about to a low flame with hot coals. Set up the cooking hub with the grill on top.

Step 2: Prep and season

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and pesto and set aside. Drizzle the arugula with olive oil and mix. Cut the pepper, slicing off 4 pieces from the stem. Drizzle with olive oil. Drizzle the steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3: Get grilling

Place the red pepper pieces on the grill and cook until tender, flipping halfway while cooking. Add more wood as needed for a higher flame and put the steak on the grill. Cook until desired doneness. Slice and toast the buns on the grill.

Step 4: Assemble

Spread the pesto sauce on both sides of the warm, toasted buns. Add a slice of cheese on the bottom bun. Top with sliced steak, sliced peppers, and dressed arugula.
