Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: Begin by combining the nonfat beef broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and fresh ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended, creating a flavorful marinade.
-
Marinate the Steaks: Place the beef eye round steaks into the marinade, ensuring that they are thoroughly coated. To enhance the flavor absorption, transfer the coated steaks into a zip lock bag, sealing it securely. Refrigerate the bag for approximately one hour, turning the steaks occasionally to ensure even marination.
-
Grilling the Steaks: Preheat your grill to a high temperature. After marinating, remove the steaks from the zip lock bag, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the steaks on the hot grill, cooking for approximately 15 minutes for a medium doneness, flipping them once halfway through the cooking process. During grilling, you can baste the steaks with the marinade to enhance their flavor.
-
Finish Grilling: As the steaks near completion, remember to discard the remaining marinade to avoid contamination. Do not apply any additional marinade after the steaks have been taken off the grill.
-
Optional Vegetable Sauté: While the steaks are grilling, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced red bell peppers and sauté for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Next, introduce the chopped onions and fresh mushrooms to the pan. Stir occasionally, allowing the vegetables to cook through. Towards the end of the sautéing process, sprinkle a little Emeril’s Essence for a burst of flavor.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the steaks are grilled to your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the steaks thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Place the sliced beef onto sandwich rolls, and top generously with the sautéed vegetables. If desired, add melted cheese for extra richness.
-
Toppings and Serving Suggestions: Enhance your Grilled Beef Sandwiches with fresh tomato slices and your choice of mustard, such as Düsseldorf or Dijon, or any of your favorite toppings. These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh off the grill, but don’t hesitate to get creative with additional toppings as you see fit.
-
Final Touch: Serve your grilled beef sandwiches hot, accompanied by the side dishes of your choice, such as potato salad, fresh corn, and a colorful salad, creating a delightful spread that will impress your family and friends.

These Grilled Beef Sandwiches are not just a meal; they are a culinary experience that brings joy and satisfaction to any gathering, providing a perfect balance of flavor and texture.
