Steak Lovers Leftovers Sandwiches Recipes

STEAK-LOVERS' LEFTOVERS (SANDWICHES)

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium heat; add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden.
• (Note: The original recipe says to cook until"golden and crispy". I've never managed to get them crispy, but they're delicious just caramelized.) Using a slotted spoon to allow excess oil to drip back into the skillet, remove onion slices to paper towels to drain.
• Reduce heat to moderately low and add mushrooms and garlic to skillet.
• Cook in remaining oil, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to turn brown; transfer mixture to a small bowl.
• Pour broth into skillet and deglaze, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add cream, catsup, worcestershire and mustard.
• (The recipe doesn't say to, but at this point I let it simmer a little while to reduce sauce and thicken a bit.) Cut bread loaf in half horizontally and butter each half lightly.
• Cut each half into 4 equal pieces and toast in oven, buttered side up.
• Stir sliced beef and mushroom mixture into sauce and heat thoroughly.
• Place beef slices on bottom slices of bread, spooning desired amount of sauce over each slice.
• Sprinkle caramelized onions over each sandwich and place other half of bread slices on top.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• Trim away and discard the long piece of fat running down the side of the steaks. Cut each steak in half and put on a baking tray, then transfer to the freezer and freeze for 40 mins.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan or casserole dish set over a medium heat. Add the onion and peppers along with a good pinch of salt and fry for 20 mins, or until the onions are golden and sticky. Add the vinegar and cook for a further 5 mins. Season to taste.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the steak as thinly as possible and pile the slices into four portions. Heat a skillet over a high heat until almost smoking. Put one portion of the steak slices in the pan in a pile that's roughly the length of your rolls. Fry for 3 mins over a high heat until some of the steak is cooked through, with pink bits remaining. Pile a quarter of the onion mixture on top, as well as a quarter each of the cheese slices and the mozzarella. Continue to cook undisturbed over a medium heat for 5-10 mins until the meat is brown and crisp around the edge and the cheeses have melted. Split one of the rolls open and carefully scoop the meat and cheese mixture into it. Repeat with the remaining meat, onions, cheese and rolls.

PHILLY STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the beef in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, marjoram and basil. Sprinkle over beef.
• Heat half of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute beef to desired doneness, and remove from pan. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet, and saute the onion and green pepper.
• Preheat oven on broiler setting.
• Divide the meat between the bottoms of 4 rolls, layer with onion and green pepper, then top with sliced cheese. Place on cookie sheet, and broil until cheese is melted. Cover with tops of rolls, and serve.

LEFTOVER STEAK SANDWICH WITH ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Butter each large half of the bread then, the place under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown lightly or until slightly crisp.
• In a large skillet cook the onions in the butter and oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the onions are crisp and golden, season with salt and black pepper; transfer to a paper towel using a slotted spoon.
• Add in more butter and/or oil to the skillet if desired and add in the sliced mushrooms and garlic; sauté until the mushrooms loose their moisture and are lightly browned; transfer mushroom/garlic mixture to a bowl.
• To the same skillet add in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper, stirring with a wooden spoon to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the skillet.
• Add in whipping cream, ketchup and mustard; simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
• Add in the beef slices and mushroom/garlic mixture, stirring until heated through, simmer over low heat for about 3 minutes (or more if desired) stirring occasionally.
• On the bottom half of the browned bread place sliced cheese, then green pepper rings, then steak/gravy mixture.
• Season with black pepper and then top with browned onions.
• Top with the remaining bread, the cut into serving size pieces.
