Open-Faced Steak Sandwich With Red Pesto

Perfectly air-fried ribeye, sliced thin and laid over toasted sourdough smeared with a rich, sun-dried tomato and walnut red pesto, finished with peppery arugula and quick-pickled shallots that cut through every savory, indulgent bite. This isn’t your average sandwich.

How To Pick Jarred Roasted Red Peppers

Fire-roasted red bell peppers packed in water are preferred for this dish. Oil-packed bell peppers will cause the sauce to become too oily.

Ingredient Swaps

If you can’t find ribeye, you can also substitute it for NY strip steak or sirloin. 

Nutritional Features

Ribeye steak is a significant source of complete protein, iron, and zinc, all of which support energy and immune function. Walnuts in the red pesto contribute omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, while arugula adds a dose of vitamin K and folate to round out this well-balanced, satisfying meal.
