GAME-DAY STEAK SANDWICHES WITH MUSHROOMS, ONIONS AND GRUYERE
Steps:
- If marinating the steak, place it in a casserole dish. Pour the Steak Marinade over the steak and turn to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, if using, and allow the steak to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high. Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Grill the steak to the desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes for medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 130 degrees F). Place the meat on a cutting board and allow to rest at least 5 minutes.
- While the steak cooks and rests, slice the onions thinly into half moons. Slice the mushrooms very thinly. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 cup of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly caramelized. Add the mushrooms. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle a little oil on the cut sides of the ciabatta and toast on the grill.
- Stir the mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- To assemble the sandwiches, thinly slice the steak against the grain. Place a dollop of the mayonnaise mixture on both halves of the toasted ciabatta loaf or rolls and spread evenly. Layer the sliced Gruyere on the top half of the ciabatta. (If you want melted cheese, place the Gruyere-topped ciabatta under a preheated broiler for a minute or two.) Layer the sliced steak on the bottom half of bread. Next, top the steak with the mushrooms and onions. Close the sandwich with the top half of ciabatta, slice and serve.
- Combine the Worcestershire, oil, garlic, rosemary and chile in a large bowl and mix well.
GAME-DAY STEAK SANDWICHES WITH WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE AND CALABRIAN CHILE SALSA VERDE
Steps:
- If marinating the steak, place it in a casserole dish. Pour the Steak Marinade over the steak and turn to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, if using, and allow the steak to come to room temperature. Discard the marinade. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high. Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Grill the steak to the desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes for medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 130 degrees F). Place the steak on a cutting board and allow to rest at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the bell peppers on the grill. Turn the peppers frequently, charring the skin evenly on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a large bowl. While the peppers are still piping hot, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the peppers to steam for 15 minutes. Place the peppers on a cutting board. Remove the stems and seeds. Using a kitchen towel, wipe off the charred skin. Slice the peppers into strips. Place the pepper strips in a medium bowl and drizzle with oil. Set aside.
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick planks. Place in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, season with salt and black pepper and toss to coat. Grill the zucchini until tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Drizzle a little oil on the cut sides of the ciabatta and toast on the grill.
- In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese and cream and whisk together until smooth. Set aside.
- For the chile salsa verde: Combine the chiles, garlic, onions, parsley, oregano, cilantro and oil in a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt. Set aside.
- To assemble the sandwiches, thinly slice the steak against the grain. Place a dollop of the whipped goat cheese on both halves of the toasted ciabatta and spread evenly. Layer the sliced steak over the cheese and put a generous amount of the chile salsa verde on top of the steak. Layer the grilled zucchini and roasted peppers into the sandwiches. Close the sandwiches with the top half of ciabatta, slice and serve.
- Combine the Worcestershire, oil, garlic, rosemary and chile in a large bowl and mix well.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality steak. Look for steaks that are well-marbled and have a good amount of fat.
- Don't overcook the steak. Cook it to your desired doneness, but be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough.
- Use a good quality bread for the sandwiches. A sturdy bread will hold up well to the steak and toppings.
- Be generous with the toppings. The toppings are what really make these sandwiches special, so don't be afraid to pile them on.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately. The sandwiches are best when they are hot and fresh.
