Summer is all about that ice cold beer and backyard flavors! And our friends at Broken Horn and the River Grill certainly know how to create that state of summer bliss.
If you haven’t been to Broken Horn yet, put this local brewery on your list! You can drive or take the paved city pathway that parallels Mission Street if you want to walk or bike for a bite and a beer. Enjoy a pint in the taphouse or on the expansive deck and patio area (leashed dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas). In addition to the locally brewed beer and guest cider taps, Broken Horn also hosts weekly live music on Saturdays, trivia on Thursdays, and local jam sessions on Mondays.
In 2023, Broken Horn partnered with the River Grill food truck to offer year-round eats in addition to their amazing brews. The River Grill is perhaps best known for their incredible smash burgers, but their entire menu is worth sampling. From the BBQ sliders to the chicken Caesar pitas, you really can’t go wrong. And new this summer…the River Grill will be open for lunch starting at 10am! Swing by to enjoy on site or order ahead online to pick up and take with you on your summer adventure.
Want to take a bit of this amazing duo home with you? Pick up a growler or 26 ounce can from Broken Horn and whip up this amazing recipe from the River Grill for a perfect summer meal.
Garlic Aioli Cheesesteak Sandwich
Ingredients:
Garlic Aioli
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch sugar
- 2 Tbsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp Tajin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Cheesesteak
- 8oz Shaved prime rib (sub ribeye if needed)
- 1 Red pepper, diced
- 1 Green pepper, diced
- 1 Walla Walla Sweet onion, diced
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 2 Hoagie Rolls
Directions:
Make the garlic aioli sauce. Add all ingredients into a bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Heat up a flat iron grill. Add the shaved prime rib, peppers, and onions to the grill. Toss until onions begin to caramelize. Top with pepper jack cheese and a dollop of garlic aioli sauce. Toss to mix until cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, spread garlic aioli on the hoagie rolls and toast on the grill. Once golden, remove from heat, add the cheesesteak mix and enjoy!
The Perfect Pairing
Pair your cheesesteak sandwich with a signature brew from Broken Horn. We love the Hells Canyon Jalapeño (5.5% ABV, 25 IBU). This light, drinkable beer has a spicy kick that we can’t get enough of. If an IPA is your go-to, we highly recommend the Initial Attack IPA (6.8% ABV, 68 IBU), one of the flagships at Broken Horn and a fan favorite for more than 10 years. To switch it up, don’t discount the deliciousness of the Sasquatch Stout (6.8% ABV, 39 IBU). Perhaps this darker brew is a bit unexpected in the summer, but the Squatch drinks smooth and easy.
