Lou Bird’s chef Eli Fields made a special dish ahead of Sunday's matchup of the Philadelphia Eagles against the San Francisco 49ers.

Fields describes it as his take on the classic roast pork sandwich with a touch of Eagles green. It's shaved steak with sauce topped with broccoli rabe (green for the Eagles) and served with a wasabi aioli.

They will be serving it this weekend for takeout and dine-in, but if you want to make this Eagles-themed steak sandwich at home the recipe is below.

β€œThe Lou Bird” Recipe (4 Servings)

Ingredients

1.5 - 2 lbs thinly sliced beef

2 quarts beef stock

1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour

1/4 cup butter

9-12 slices of sharp provolone

2 bunches of broccoli rabe

2 tablespoons of wasabi paste

1/2 cup of salt

5 quarts of water

Directions

  1. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a pot and once melted add in 1/4 cup of flour.
  2. Combine and continue to cook while mixing to create a roux. You want to cook this for a couple of minutes to cook out the flour flavor.

  4. Add 1/2 cup of salt to 5 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling add in broccoli rabe until fork tender or desired texture (Approximately 3-4 minutes) and shock in ice water.
  5. Cut baguette to desired sandwich size. Place provolone cheese on 1 side of baguette and bake in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted
  6. Place thinly sliced beef in simmering at jus sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes
  7. Pull beef out of an jus and place on naked side of baguette. Spoon some additional au jus sauce over beef.
  8. Place cooked broccoli rabe (reheated if desired) on top of beef
  9. Combine 2 table spoons of wasabi paste with 1 cup of mayonnaise for dipping sauce
