Lahmacun steak sando fusion

This was a riff off this recipe Gozney has up for a roast beef pizza sando.  I made a few audibles that somehow all worked.

First there’s the slaw.  I got the mandolin out and super finely sliced up a red onion and cabbage, with some dill and parsley thrown in:



Now, the recipe calls for tossing this with some sweetened pickle vinegar dressing.  Well wtf is that?  Nothing I’d ever heard of or seen.  Google was not much help here.  But what I did have in the fridge were these bad boys:



So I figured... toss the slaw with the juice from these and... close enough?  Somehow that worked!  

I had most of the ingredients for the mustard mayo.  I used a mix of dijon and top shelf honey mustard:



For the dough, I used a lahmacun recipe I had.  Rolled it out super thin:



Now for the protein.  I had a lonely, 10-oz NY strip.  Treated it with S&P and threw it in the Roccbox at 900F:



It took about four minutes a side, give or take:



I saved the rendered beef fat from the cook, and used it to paint the dough:



Topped the dough with onions, parm, and oregano, and cooked it in the RB for about a minute.  Here’s how it looked on the other side:



Added the slaw and the mustard mayo, then topped with the sliced steak:



Rolled it up and sliced to serve:



This all came together very very well.  Somehow it all works and it’s delicious.  Thanks for looking!

    Da-n!  That is impressive as he!!.  That Roccbox steak is killer.  And here, when I saw Lahmacun in the title I thought a blonde (scotch) recipe/cook.  Strong work right there.

    Beautiful cook all the way.
    *I'd have been tempted to introduce a few jalapenos to the mandolin, then into the slaw.

    Great idea.  I’ll be making this again, for sure.

    I need to start playing with the Roccbox... Do you preheat the CI pan?  Turn steak?

    Yes you preheat it.  Doesn’t take long at 900F - maybe 5-10 minutes.  

    I flip and turn the steak a couple of times during the cook while it’s all in the oven.  At the end I pull it out and turn the steak on its side to get the edges.  The CI stays super hot so it works.

    The steak by itself is incredible.  You don’t need anything more than S&P with that crust that forms.

    I am not sure what I am looking at.  A pizza, a salad, a sandwich, a gyro, or a steak.  No matter what it is, it looks amazing.

    Yep.  It's really pretty straightforward if you have an Ooni or any other portable pizza oven like that.  Hit me up if you have any questions.

    If you know John as I do, you know he is OCD about his cooking (Not so much about cleaning his BGE, but that need not be discussed here, at this time), so to me,  there are no surprises, just massive envy, over his posts, be they simple (my skill level) or be they complex.

    Typical to John’s creativity, as well as his intense dedication to both the science and the art of cooking, he delivers a meal such as this, when he knows, I will not be there for him to share it with.

    This is just one of many I regret missing, and perhaps the one, I think I would have enjoyed, most.

    Thank you for posting this cook, but plan on making this with me the next time we hook up.

    Great work my friend.

    I've read this thread multiple times, because for me it's just such an awesome cook I have to come back.  One thing though that disturbs me, why all the flags?  That is bizarre behaviour at any level for this post.
    Because of that I decided to "like" every response @JohnInCarolina made in the thread.  Others may consider doing the same.
