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.
