"You have the stuff to make bread don't you?"
And that was how I ended up making bread for the first time on Sunday night. While I had never made bread before, I did know it made quite the mess so I made arrangements with my boyfriend that if I made the bread, that he would do the dishes. Win!
Rather than making a basic loaf of bread, I decided to find a steak or hoagie roll recipe and was rather successful. Go check out this amazing hoagie roll recipe from Food.com member kzbhansen. The only alteration I made was when cutting the ingredients in half, I halved the yeast as well with no issues at all even though when you alter the servings on site it still asks for 2 packages of yeast.
With the rolls turning out a success, I started in on the steak part of my steak sandwich. Of course, since this was a 'no plan week', the steak had to come out of the freezer and get thrown into the sink under running water so we could eat at a reasonable time.
In my opinion, a steak is a steak. Yes, some cuts are much better than others, but I saw no issue with using a '7 bone steak' that we picked up from Safeway. So, once the steak is done and on the roll, just add a little bit of your favorite steak sauce and you're good to go!
YUM!

Steak Sandwich
Yield: Makes 4-5 sandwiches
Ingredients
- Hoagie Rolls (recipe below)
- 1 lb steak (Sirloin, London Broil, or other favorite cut of steak)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Seasoning salt
- Basil
- Worcestershire
- Steak sauce (A1)
- Liquid Smoke (optional)
- Vegetable toppings: tomato, onion, etc (optional)
Directions
- Prepare hoagie rolls (or buy from store) and let cool.
- Slice steak along the grain in thin strips or chunks depending on preference. Coat the sliced steak with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt. If you're a seasoning nut like me, go ahead and toss and coat again. Place in a dish or baggie, top with a sprinkling of basil, a tablespoon or two of the Worcestershire, steak sauce, and liquid smoke, and then store in the fridge for at least 45 minutes to an hour.
- Remove from fridge and dump into a frying pan on medium-high. Carefully watch and stir the meat occasionally until desired doneness.
- Slice hoagie rolls in half and layer the base of the rolls with a healthy serving of meat. Add any tomato, onion, or other desired vegetable slices. Top with steak sauce and enjoy!

Hoagie Rolls
Recipe by: kzbhansen
Yield: 8 or 9 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/8 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 4 to 4 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
- Dissolve yeast into into mixture of 1/2 cup water and and 1
tablespoon of sugar. Make sure the yeast is thoroughly dissolved.
- Mix in the remaining water and
then stir in oil, salt, and 4 cups of flour until dough is smooth. On a
smooth, floured surface, knead the dough for 6-8 minutes, or until
elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, being
sure to cover the entire surface of the dough in grease before covering
and setting it aside to rise for about an hour.
- Punch the dough down and divide into eight or nine pieces (recipe is said to make 9 rolls, but it separates easier into 8
rolls). Shape them into long ovals and cut a shallow slit in the top of
each roll, and then place on greased baking sheet to rise for an
additional 20 minutes.
- While the dough is rising again, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Bake for 13-18 minutes (or until
golden brown). Let cool thoroughly (or burn your finger-tips tearing a
piece off to dip in butter like I did).
