Ingredients

Beef:

1.5 lbs Thinly Sliced Ribeye
1 cup Chipotle Puree
1.5 tbsp Kosher Salt
1.5 tbsp Black Pepper
1.5 tbsp Garlic Powder
Canola Oil as needed

Sauteed Veggies:

1 Whole Red Onion sliced
2 Jalapenos sliced
Canola Oil as needed
Chipotle Ranch:
2.5 tbsp Sour Cream
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Chipotle Puree
1.5 tbsp Chopped Cilantro
1.5 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Black Pepper
Buttermilk to desired consistency
Salt to taste

Cheesesteaks:

Sandwich Bun
Provolone Cheese sliced

Instructions

Sauteed Veggies:

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 300F) for direct cooking.
Add a cast iron skillet to heat up for 2 minutes over the fire. Add 2 tbsp of oil then your diced onion and jalapeños.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until softened, then pull off and keep warm.

Cheesesteaks:

Add your steak to a bowl along with the chipotle puree, seasoning and oil. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
Heat your grill at high heat (around 450F) for direct cooking.
Add a cast iron skillet or plancha over the flames. Add the beef and “chop” it up more so it's finely cut. Once all the meat is cooked and there is no more red in the meat, season with salt, pepper and garlic.
Add your sauteed veggies to the meat and mix with the meat with a couple slices of cheese too.
Make the meat into a shape on the skillet that will fit on your bun, then cover the top with cheese and let it melt.
Slather your chipotle ranch onto the inside of the bun and add the sliced bun over the pile of meat. Lift it up and into the bun.
Set the cheesesteak down on a platter and repeat for the other cheesesteaks.
Build your cheesesteak with more chipotle ranch sauce on top. For extra flavor, wrap in foil and let sit for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ninja FlexFlame ProTip

When you’re using the Ninja FlexFlame, take advantage of the dual-zone control! Keep one side at medium heat for sautéing your veggies and the other side ripping hot for searing the beef. It’s the easiest way to crush timing and build layers of flavor without burning anything.
