STEAK SANDWICH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND BRIE



Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Brie image

Tender and juicy steak sandwich with caramelized onions, creamy Brie cheese, and fig jam. An incredible flavor combination that's both easy and elegant!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 beef strip steaks ((10 ounces each) about 1-inch thick each*)
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
2 large red onions (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
8 mini-sized French rolls, (pretzel buns, or similar soft, but sturdy buns)
1 1/2 cups arugula
8 ounces Brie cheese (cut into thin slices)
1/2 cup fig jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove steak from the refrigerator and place on a plate. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Let come to room temperature while you caramelize the onions.
  • Prepare the Dijon onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sautee pan over medium high. Add the sliced red onions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onions begin to soften and brown, 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 15 additional minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Dijon to evenly coat. Remove the onions to a plate or bowl, then gently wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
  • Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium high. Once the oil is very hot and almost smoking, add the seasoned steaks. Do not crowd them-if your skillet is not large enough to easily accommodate both, cook them in batches. Sear the steaks for 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat to low and cook the steak for about 6-8 minutes, turning once, until rare and a thermometer inserted in the center reaches 125 degrees F. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Spread the melted butter onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, using just enough to coat the pan. Lay the bottom of the buns in a single layer in the baking dish, then top with the arugula, steak slices, Brie, and the caramelized onions. Spread the inside of the top buns with about 2 teaspoons jam, then lay the buns on top to complete the sandwiches. Brush the bun tops with the remaining melted butter, then cover the pan with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, just until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy warm.

PEPITOS (MEXICAN STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CHIPOTLE CREMA)



Pepitos (Mexican Steak Sandwiches with Chipotle Crema) image

The pepito might be one of the lesser known of the Mexican tortas but it is one of my favorites. This northern Mexican sandwich is served on toasted bolillos (small French rolls), smothered with a tangy, spicy and smoky chipotle crema. The steaks are quick-marinated in lime juice, olive oil and garlic for an easy weeknight skillet torta. But if you have more time, let the steaks marinate for a few hours and fire up the grill for a smokier version of this mouthwatering torta.

Provided by Rick Martinez

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 tortas

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds flank or skirt steak, cut to fit your skillet
1/2 cup Mexican crema, crème fraiche or sour cream
1 to 3 canned chipotles in adobo (depending on your heat preference), smashed, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
4 large scallions, trimmed
4 Mexican bolillos or hoagie rolls, split and toasted
2 ripe avocados, sliced
4 to 8 pickled jalapeños, quartered lengthwise
1 cup packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 ripe tomatoes (or one large), sliced

Steps:

  • Stir together the lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 of the grated garlic cloves and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Add the steak, toss to coat and let sit until ready to cook. (Steaks can be marinated for up to 6 hours in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap.)
  • Stir together the crema, chipotle (1 for mild, 2 for medium, 3 for spicy), adobo and remaining 1 grated garlic clove in a small bowl until completely combined. Let sit until ready to assemble.
  • Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Cook the scallions until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the hot skillet and cook the steaks (they will soak up all of the marinade so no need to drain), until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
  • Spread a generous amount of the chipotle crema on the split sides of each bolillo and divide the steak among the 4 bottom bolillos. Top with the sliced avocado, jalapeños and cilantro. Top with the tomatoes and season with salt. Close the sandwiches and serve with the charred scallions.

TANGY FLANK STEAK SANDWICHES



Tangy Flank Steak Sandwiches image

This recipe is from Sunset magazine, probably back in the 80's. My mom used to make it for us for Father's Day every year. DH and I now make it, but we don't make sandwiches. We do double the sauce to pour over the meat on our plates. Instead of making sandwiches, we dip french bread in the extra sauce. It tastes great leftover too.
