Game Day Steak Sandwiches With Whipped Goat Cheese And Calabrian Chile Salsa Verde Recipes

CALABRIAN CHILE PASTA

Steps:

• In a 10-inch high-sided saute pan, bring 1 inch of water (about 4 cups) to a boil over high heat. Add the penne and the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente, about 9 minutes; there should be a little water left in the pan.
• Sprinkle the pecorino over the pasta; toss to coat. Add the tomatoes, chile paste, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil, and toss.

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 SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND HORSERADISH CREAM

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 marinate 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.
• Meanwhile, slice the onions thinly into half moons. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook the onions until they begin to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the sun-dried tomatoes and prepared horseradish in a food processor and pulse to combine. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the fresh horseradish, mayonnaise and sour cream. Add the sun-dried tomato mixture and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (Can be made a day or 2 ahead.)
• Drizzle a little oil on the cut sides of the ciabatta and toast on the grill.
• To assemble the sandwiches, toss the arugula in a small bowl with a little olive oil and salt. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Place a dollop of the sun-dried tomato mixture on both halves of the toasted ciabatta loaf or rolls. Layer the steak over the tomato. Next, top the steak with the caramelized onions and some arugula. 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.

GRILLED STEAK SANDWICHES WITH GOAT CHEESE AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Season steaks with salt and pepper; grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grill onion until tender and charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; separate into rings. (To store, refrigerate steaks and onion, up to 1 day.)
• Assemble sandwiches: Thinly slice steaks against the grain. Dividing evenly, spread top halves of bread with cheese, and bottom halves with mustard. Pile steak, onion, and arugula on bottom halves; close sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into quarters, and serve.
