🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Steak Filling:

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt 🧂
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
For the Sandwich:
- 1 giant croissant or 2 large croissants 🥐
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese 🧀
- ½ cup sautéed onions 🧅
- ½ cup sautéed bell peppers (optional) 🌶️
- Lettuce and tomato slices (optional) 🥬🍅
Optional Sauce:

🔪 Instructions
1. Cook the Steak
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Season the steak slices with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies
Using the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed.
Sauté onions (and bell peppers if using) until soft and caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Toast the Croissant
Slice the croissant in half horizontally.
Lightly toast the inside halves in a skillet or oven until golden and crisp.
4. Build the Sandwich
Spread the optional sauce on the toasted croissant.
Layer with:
- Lettuce and tomato
- Sautéed onions and peppers
- Steak slices
- Cheese (place under broiler for 1–2 minutes to melt if desired)
Top with the other half of the croissant.
5. Serve & Devour
Cut in half or quarters. Serve immediately with fries, chips, or a simple salad.
💡 Pro Tips

- Switch It Up: Swap steak for grilled chicken or shredded roast beef for different flavor vibes.
- Add Extra Heat: Try a drizzle of sriracha mayo, chipotle sauce, or BBQ glaze for a spicy twist.
