Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the vegetables and beef for the toast. Wash them thoroughly, pat them dry, and then chop or slice them according to their type.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic. Thinly slice the onion. Cut the tomato and green bell pepper into round slices about 0.5cm thick. Slice the chili pepper diagonally into larger pieces, removing the seeds if desired.
Step 3
Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and round tomato slices, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the tomatoes are slightly softened. This process enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
Step 4
Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5cm). Season both sides of the cut beef generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Have the bite-sized beef pieces ready for cooking. (Use the beef sliced in step 3).
Step 6
In the same pan, melt half a piece of butter and cook the seasoned beef to your preferred doneness (from medium-rare to well-done). Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle dried basil evenly over it for added aroma. Set the cooked beef aside for a moment.
Step 7
Wipe the pan clean if necessary. Add the remaining half piece of butter and toast the bread slices over low heat until golden brown on both sides. Aim for a slightly crispy texture, especially on the edges.
Step 8
Transfer the toasted bread to a plate or cutting board. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté over low heat until fragrant. Turn off the heat and use the residual heat of the pan to gently cook the garlic; this prevents burning and preserves its flavor.
Step 9
Place the toasted bread back into the pan with the garlic. Layer the sautéed onion and tomato mixture, the cooked beef, and the sliced green bell pepper evenly over the bread. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on top, and cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Once the cheese is beautifully melted, immediately turn off the heat. Top with the diagonally sliced chili pepper. The spicy and crisp texture of the chili pepper cuts through the richness, balancing the overall flavor. You can omit or adjust the amount of chili pepper according to your preference.
Step 11
The chili pepper adds a touch of heat and crispness, which helps to balance the richness of the toast. You can chop it finely as a topping or serve it on the side for an extra kick. Enjoy your hearty beef and vegetable toast while it’s warm!
