Cut the sausages lengthwise. Meanwhile, season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill the sausages first and then the steaks so they stay medium-rare. To grill the sausages use vegetable oil and butter to grill the steaks. Start making the Francesinha with this order: slice of bread, slice of cheese, one of ham, the steak, the sausages and finally a bread slice. Finish covering the Francesinha with cheese.
