Pimento Cheese Steak Biscuit Sandwiches

Most Southerners will say the  “best pimento” cheese is the one you grew up eating. This is our favorite version, paired with its Southern Cousin, biscuits, to create these festive make-ahead sandwiches. You will have more pimento spread than you’ll need for the sandwiches, serve on the side with celery sticks and crackers or save for another time. We’ve said before and we’ll say it again, tenderize your sirloin for optimal eating experience!

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of store-bought biscuits or your favorite recipe (We like Trader Joe’s Buttermilk)
  • 2 8 OZ Pre top sirloin steaks (don’t forget to tenderize them)
  • 1 C pimento cheese spread
  • Scallion Mayonnaise
    1/4 C favorite store bought mayonnaise
    2 scallions green tops only, washed, trimmed and minced
    1 t apple cider vinegar
Pimento Cheese Spread: 
  • 2 C shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 8 OZ cream cheese, softened
  • 4 T salted butter, softened
  • 2 T chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 T garlic and parsley seasoning salt
  • ¼ t cayenne pepper
  • 1 T grated sweet onion
  • 8 OZ jar diced pimento, drained
  • 2 t ground black pepper
  • 2 t hot sauce
  1. Make pimento cheese spread: Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until well combined. Spoon into a crock or jar, cover and refrigerate, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  2. Remove spread from refrigerator about 30 minutes before assembling sandwiches. Bake biscuits according to package directions and let cool. Blot steak dry with a paper towel, tenderize with your preferred method, and season liberally with kosher salt.
  3. Coat lightly with high-heat cooking oil. Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium-high and cook steaks. About 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Use a sharp knife to shave thin slices against the grain. Mix mayonnaise, minced scallion, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Pull each biscuit apart, then hollow about half of the dough out of the bottom of each one.
  5. Spread about 2 T of pimento spread in the hollowed out section of each biscuit bottom. Top pimento spread with steak slices, distributing the slices evenly between the 8 biscuits.
  6. Drizzle each with the scallion mayonnaise and top with the other biscuit half. Slice sandwiches in half and secure with a toothpick.
