DIRECTIONS

1.

Thaw the hamburger buns according to the package directions.

2.

Spray the sheet pans (18" x 26" x 1") with food release spray or line with parchment paper.

3.

Place the frozen steak patties on sheet pans (18" x 26" x 1") that have been lined with parchment paper or sprayed with food release spray.

4.

Bake the steak patties according to the package or case directions. Overcooking the patties will cause them to be dry.

CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for at least 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations.

5.

 Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Cut holes in foil and place in warmer until ready for assembly.
 

CCP: Hold in warmer at 135 degrees F or higher until ready for assembly.

6.

TRIMMINGS:

  • Rinse the tomatoes under cool, running water, then drain them thoroughly.
  • Core and thinly slice the tomatoes (8 slices per tomato).
  • Portion 1/8 cup lettuce, 1 tomato slice, and 2 pickle slices in individual portion containers.

Cover and refrigerate until ready for service.

CCP:  Cover and refrigerate at 41 degrees F or lower. Hold for service.

7.

SANDWICH ASSEMBLY:

  • Place 24 bottom portions of hamburger buns on each sheet pan, 4 down and 6 across.
  • Place one cooked steak pattie on each bun.
  • Cover each sandwich with the top portion of the bun.

  • Sandwiches may also be wrapped in deli paper, waxed paper, foil sheets, plastic wrap, or placed in sandwich bags.
  • Place each Country Fried Steak Sandwich in steamtable pans (12" x 20" x 2½") lined with pan liners.
  • Prepare the sandwiches in batches to maintain quality.

Serve the sandwiches immediately, or cover the pan with a lid, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap. If foil or plastic wrap is used, cut holes in it to allow steam to escape. Place the pan in a warmer until ready for service.

CCP: Cover and hold for service at 135 degrees F or higher.

8.

Portion one sandwich and trimmings per serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. meat/meat alternate and 3 oz. eq. whole grains.

CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Unassembled leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours. Leftover assembled sandwiches do not have good quality when reheated. For best quality, assembled sandwiches should be discarded.
