Gaucho Beef Tenderloin Sandwich Recipes

BEEF STROGANOFF SANDWICH

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Cut a 30-by-12-inch piece of aluminum foil.
• Mix together the sour cream, mustard and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover and set aside.
• Rub the flank steak all over with the Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Place the onions in a single layer in the middle of the foil. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold over the foil; crimp all the open sides tightly while keeping the packet flat.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest 10 minutes, covered loosely with foil, then slice thinly across the grain.
• Meanwhile, place the onion foil packet and the mushrooms on the grill. Cook the foil packet for 4 minutes per side; remove from the grill, and keep sealed for 5 minutes so the onions continue to soften as they cool. Grill the mushrooms until tender, about 3 minutes per side; slice thinly, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper.
• Grill the bread slices until you see grill marks and some char, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Rub each grilled slice with the cut side of a garlic clove. Drizzle with oil.
• Assemble the open-faced sandwiches: On each slice of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of the sour cream sauce. Top with the steak, mushrooms, onions, another tablespoon of sauce and parsley. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and some salt and pepper.
