Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For marinade
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds fresh Portobello mushrooms, stems trimmed flush with caps
For Gorgonzola butter

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
four 1/2-inch-thick slices crusty bread, cut diagonally from a large loaf
Garnish: fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Make marinade:
  • In a small bowl whisk together marinade ingredients. Put half of mushroom caps and half of marinade in each of 2 large sealable plastic bags, arranging mushroom caps in one layer, and seal bags, pressing out excess air. Marinate mushrooms at room temperature, turning bags over several times, at least 1 and up to 2 hours.
  • Make Gorgonzola butter while mushrooms are marinating:
  • On a plate with a fork mash Gorgonzola and butter together until blended well.
  • Make red pepper vinaigrette:
  • In a blender blend vinaigrette ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth and emulsified.
  • Prepare grill.
  • Grill one side of bread on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, bread may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Divide bread, toasted sides down, among 4 plates. Spread soft side of bread with Gorgonzola butter.
  • Remove mushrooms from marinade and grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until tender. (Alternatively, mushrooms may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer mushrooms with tongs to a cutting board and slice thin.
  • Arrange warm mushrooms on toasts and spoon vinaigrette over each open-faced sandwich. Garnish sandwiches with thyme.
  • To roast peppers:
  • Using a long-handled fork char peppers over an open flame, turning, until skins are blackened, 2 to 3 minutes. (Or broil peppers on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from heat, turning every 5 minutes, until skins are blistered and charred, 15 to 25 minutes.) Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Keeping peppers whole, peel them, starting at blossom end. Cut off tops and discard seeds and ribs.

Yield Makes 6 servings

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 small garlic clove, pressed
6 4-inch-long baguette sections or one 1-pound loaf ciabatta, halved horizontally
2 ears of corn, husked
2 small red bell peppers, quartered lengthwise
1 large red onion, cut into 1/3-inch rounds
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut crosswise into 6-inch pieces
Olive oil (for brushing)

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (high heat). Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Set aside. Pull out some of inside of bread, forming thick shells.

Grill vegetables until charred and just tender and steaks until charred and cooked to medium-rare, about 15 minutes for corn, 8 to 10 minutes for peppers, and 5 to 8 minutes for onion, turning occasionally, and 3 minutes per side for steaks. Let steaks rest 5 minutes. Grill bread, cut side down, until charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • For tender and flavorful pepper steak, use a high-quality cut of beef, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin.
  • Be sure to thinly slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Use freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak. This will prevent it from searing properly and becoming tough.
  • Cook the steak over high heat for a short amount of time. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Use a soft, hoagie-style roll for the sandwiches. This will help to absorb the juices from the steak and peppers.
  • Top the sandwiches with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Conclusion:

Pepper steak sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
