GRILLED-STEAK SANDWICHES



Grilled-Steak Sandwiches image

Basil, tomatoes, and olive oil refine this sandwich. The soft bread soaks up the juices of fresh-off-the-grill steak, so no flavor is lost.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sirloin, skirt, or flank steaks (about 1 3/4 pounds each)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 large loaves semisoft Italian bread, halved lengthwise
Garnish: fresh basil and romaine lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Let steaks stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat grill to high. Brush grates with oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steaks across the grain.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle tomatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush bread with oil. Grill tomatoes until lightly charred and soft, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill cut sides of bread until lightly charred, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
  • Layer sliced steak and grilled tomatoes over bottom halves of bread. Garnish with basil and romaine leaves, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Sandwich with top halves of bread. Cut each loaf crosswise into 6 sandwiches.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, choose high-quality steak that is at least 1 inch thick. - To ensure that the steak is cooked evenly, make sure that the grill is preheated to high heat before cooking. - To prevent the steak from sticking to the grill, brush it with olive oil before cooking. - Cook the steak for 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for more well-done steak. - While the steak is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut the zucchini, mushrooms, and onions into thin slices. - To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. - Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. - To assemble the sandwiches, place a slice of steak on a bun. Top with vegetables, dressing, and cheese.

Conclusion:

These grilled Italian steak and vegetable sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for summer grilling. The steak is juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables are tender and crisp.
