LEFTOVER STEAK SANDWICH WITH ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS



Leftover Steak Sandwich With Onions and Mushrooms image

This is a delicious sandwich and a great way to use up leftover steak --- I really don't even bother measuring out the exact amounts, the amounts I have listed I think are pretty close to what I use when I make this sandwich, you may adjust the ingredient amounts to suit taste, and to save some time you can fry the onions and mushroom/garlic mixture well in advance --- it's not really necessary to brown the bread, I like to do so as I find it makes a difference to the taste of the sandwich, serving size is only estimated --- this is delicious!

2 onions, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons oil
1 lb white button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1 cup beef broth
3 tablespoons whipping cream (unwhipped)
3 tablespoons ketchup (can use more)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 lb cooked leftover steak (sliced to about 1/8-inch thick)
salt and pepper
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
sliced mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
1 loaf unsliced bread (use a large French or Italian bread, sliced in half lengthwise)

Steps:

  • Butter each large half of the bread then, the place under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown lightly or until slightly crisp.
  • In a large skillet cook the onions in the butter and oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the onions are crisp and golden, season with salt and black pepper; transfer to a paper towel using a slotted spoon.
  • Add in more butter and/or oil to the skillet if desired and add in the sliced mushrooms and garlic; sauté until the mushrooms loose their moisture and are lightly browned; transfer mushroom/garlic mixture to a bowl.
  • To the same skillet add in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper, stirring with a wooden spoon to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the skillet.
  • Add in whipping cream, ketchup and mustard; simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the beef slices and mushroom/garlic mixture, stirring until heated through, simmer over low heat for about 3 minutes (or more if desired) stirring occasionally.
  • On the bottom half of the browned bread place sliced cheese, then green pepper rings, then steak/gravy mixture.
  • Season with black pepper and then top with browned onions.
  • Top with the remaining bread, the cut into serving size pieces.

STEAK-LOVERS' LEFTOVERS (SANDWICHES)



Steak-Lovers' Leftovers (Sandwiches) image

Amazingly enough, there was a little bit of beef tenderloin left after Christmas dinner last year. Looking for a way to stretch less than a pound to make a full meal for 4, I found this recipe from the Feb., 1990, issue of Gourmet Magazine. Everyone just lapped it up! While the quality of meat is obviously a big factor, you can use anything from tenderloin to grilled flank steak to deli roast beef with acceptable results.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup thinly-sliced onion
3/4 cup thinly-sliced mushroom
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup beef broth
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons catsup
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 lb grilled steak or 1 lb cooked roast beef, thinly-sliced
1 loaf long Italian bread

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium heat; add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden.
  • (Note: The original recipe says to cook until"golden and crispy". I've never managed to get them crispy, but they're delicious just caramelized.) Using a slotted spoon to allow excess oil to drip back into the skillet, remove onion slices to paper towels to drain.
  • Reduce heat to moderately low and add mushrooms and garlic to skillet.
  • Cook in remaining oil, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to turn brown; transfer mixture to a small bowl.
  • Pour broth into skillet and deglaze, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add cream, catsup, worcestershire and mustard.
  • (The recipe doesn't say to, but at this point I let it simmer a little while to reduce sauce and thicken a bit.) Cut bread loaf in half horizontally and butter each half lightly.
  • Cut each half into 4 equal pieces and toast in oven, buttered side up.
  • Stir sliced beef and mushroom mixture into sauce and heat thoroughly.
  • Place beef slices on bottom slices of bread, spooning desired amount of sauce over each slice.
  • Sprinkle caramelized onions over each sandwich and place other half of bread slices on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are good choices for sandwiches because they are flavorful and relatively inexpensive.
  • Cook the steak properly: The key to a great steak sandwich is to cook the steak to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook it for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Use a good bun: The bun is an important part of a steak sandwich. Choose a bun that is sturdy enough to hold up to the steak and toppings, but not so thick that it overpowers the sandwich.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities for toppings on a steak sandwich. Some popular choices include cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms, and avocado.
  • Serve the sandwich hot: A steak sandwich is best served hot off the grill. If you are making the sandwich ahead of time, reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

A steak sandwich is a classic American comfort food that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious steak sandwich that the whole family will love. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give a steak sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
