This recipe is the salad dressing made by my boss Andrea's Greek grandmother... it's absolutely delicious and I serve it in the antique cut-glass cruet that my co-workers gave to me in a goodie basket for my marriage to Ed. Preparation time includes letting dressing sit overnight for the best flavor.

Categories     main-dish

Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 large yellow skinned onions, sliced very thin
Coarse salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 drizzles
1 1/2 pounds lean beef tenderloin or sirloin, ask butcher to slice the meat very thin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices provolone cheese, from the deli counter
4 soft Italian sandwich hogie rolls, split 6 to 8 inches long each, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add onions and season with salt and pepper or steak seasoning blend. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until onions are soft and caramel in color.
  • Heat a heavy griddle pan over medium high to high heat. Wipe griddle with a drizzle of oil using a paper towel. Sear and cook thin sliced steaks until brown but not crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Cook steaks in single layers in 2 batches and tenderize by cutting into meat with the side of your spatula while they cook. When the steaks are browned, just before you remove them from heat, sprinkle them with garlic salt and pepper. When all of the steaks are cooked, line each of your split rolls with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Pile 1/4 of your meat and onions on to the griddle and mix together with your spatula. Pile the meat and onions into rolls on top of the cheese. The heat from the meat and onions will melt the cheese. Repeat for remaining servings and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your dressing. Use fresh herbs, lemons, and olive oil for the best results.
  • Adjust the ratio of oil to vinegar to your preference: The classic ratio of olive oil to vinegar is 3:1, but you can adjust this to suit your taste. If you like a more tangy dressing, add more vinegar. If you prefer a milder dressing, add more olive oil.
  • Emulsify the dressing: To make a smooth and creamy dressing, emulsify it by whisking it vigorously or shaking it in a jar. This will help the oil and vinegar to combine and create a stable emulsion.
  • Let the dressing rest: After you make the dressing, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Store the dressing properly: Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
