A note about serious food allergies

This melt has everything: more mozzarella, more mushrooms, and more mouthwatering than any melt this side of the Mississippi. (Or the other side!) Steak strips and mushrooms are sautéed together, then fill a pretzel bun topped with melty mozzarella and a zesty horseradish sour cream. The BBQ wedges on the side pull the entire delicious dinner into divine status. Sometimes even we get annoyed with all this awkward alliteration, but it's worth it in the service of such a marvelous meal.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 10 oz. sliced pork or 20 oz. sliced pork, follow same instructions as steak strips in Steps 2 and 3, cooking in batches if necessary and stirring occasionally until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using 20 oz. steak strips, follow same instructions as 10 oz. steak strips in Steps 2 and 3, cooking in batches if necessary until steak strips reach minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees.

  1. 1

    Roast the Potatoes

    Cut potatoes into 1/4" wedges.

    Place potato wedges on prepared baking sheet. Toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, BBQ spice rub, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes.

    Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven, 20 minutes.

    Carefully, remove from oven and flip wedges. Roast again until golden brown and tender, 10-15 minutes.

    While potatoes roast, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Horseradish Cream

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Combine sour cream, horseradish sauce, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Start the Filling

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add steak strips to hot pan and stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove steak strips to a plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Finish the Filling

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil and mushrooms to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 3-5 minutes.

    Add steak strips and any accumulated juices, demi-glace, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cook until liquid is slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Halve pretzel buns, if necessary.

    Carefully, move potato wedges to one side of baking sheet and place buns on empty space. Top bottom buns evenly with filling and a cheese slice.

    Bake until cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, slathering horseradish cream (to taste) on top bun. Bon appétit!
