Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Toaster
  • Sauce pan

Mise en place

  • 2 lb. steak, about 1 1/4" thick London broil, top sirloin, NY strip and flank are all good choices.
  • 8 slices white bread
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose BBQ sauce
  • 3 tbsp butter unsalted, divided (2T / 1T)
  • 1 pinch celery salt

Method

  • Heat up grill or grill pan until very hot.
  • Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Grill steaks about 4 minutes each side for medium rare. Remove steaks to a plate and let rest at least 5 minutes.
  • While the steak is resting, combine BBQ sauce, butter and celery salt in a small sauce pan. Bring to a low simmer. Whisk in butter until fully incorporated.
  • While the sauce is simmering, toast several slices of bread in the toaster. Spread a little butter on each slice, then cut each slice into thirds.
  • Slice steaks thinly against the grain and dredge the steak slices in the sauce. Stir to coat all slices thoroughly.
  • Assemble one slice on top of each bread sliver and arrange on a platter. Serve immediately. With lots of napkins.
