This stacked sandwich brings together juicy seared steak, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy sriracha mayo on toasted sourdough—finished with our Wildfire Steak Seasoning for fiery, smoky depth. It’s crunchy, spicy, savory, and unapologetically bold.

Ingredients

  • For the Steak
    1 lb flank steak or ribeye
    1½ tbsp Wildfire Steak Seasoning
    1 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Sriracha Mayo
    ½ cup mayonnaise
    2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to heat preference)
    1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
  • For the Sandwich
    4 slices fresh sourdough bread
    1 cup sauerkraut, drained
    4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese (optional)
    Butter for grilling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak
    Pat steak dry and coat with olive oil. Generously season both sides with Wildfire Steak Seasoning.

  2. Cook the Steak
    Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
    Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare) or to desired doneness.
    Warm the sauerkraut in the skillet with the steak juices before building the sandwich—it boosts the smoky heat and balances the tang.
    Rest 5 minutes, then slice thin against the grain.

  3. Make the Sriracha Mayo
    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

  4. Toast the Bread
    Lightly butter sourdough (optional) and toast in a skillet or toaster until golden.

  5. Assemble the Sandwich
    Spread sriracha mayo on both sides of bread.
    Layer steak, sauerkraut, and cheese (if using).
    Top with remaining bread.

  6. Melt & Finish (Optional)
    Return sandwich to skillet and cook 2 minutes per side until warm and melty.
