Instructions
- Place steak into freezer for 30-40 mins.

- Slice steaks into ⅛” slices and put into a bowl to come up to room temp.
- Use a full chimney of charcoal to light BBQ, and separate into direct and indirect zones.
- Place a cast iron griddle over direct heat, add a drizzle of oil and add onions and peppers. Cook until softened and edges are slightly charred, then transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Place the cast iron pan over direct heat again and get as hot as you can.
- Add salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil to the steak slices, and mix well.
- Add the steak to the cast iron pan and fast cook it, turning it often with tongs.
- Once the steak is caramelized and the edges are lightly charred, add the cooked peppers and onion, and mix thoroughly. Remove to indirect heat, add a chunk of smoking wood to charcoal and cover BBQ for 5 mins.
- Separate into 2 piles for sandwiches, and add 2 slices of Provolone or Swiss cheese to each pile and allow to melt.
- Heat the rolls in the oven at 390°F for 5 mins. Alternatively, cook in BBQ indirect for the same time once lit, and finish face down over coals to crisp.
- Spread bottom of toasted roll with horseradish.
- Using a spatula, transfer the pile of steak/peppers/cheese to the bottom of the roll.
- Add grated truffle cheddar or a drizzle of truffle oil.
