What Are These Steak Sandwiches Like

• Difficulty – These sandwiches take a little time to make and put together. I would say they are medium difficulty. The steak and the caramelized onions can be made in advance to make them quick to put together before serving.
• Taste – Amazing! If you love tender pieces of steak and caramelized onions, these are your sandwiches!
• Serving – This recipe makes 4 good sized sandwiches. In the recipe card at the end of the post you can easily adjust serving size according to how many you would like to make.

Ingredients

• Steak – 2 thin strip loin steaks. The steaks I used were about 1 inch thick.
• Seasonings – This recipe uses table salt and fresh cracked black pepper to season the steak.
• Olive oil – Olive oil is used to pan fry the steak.
• Caramelized Onions – Caramelized onions add an amazing flavour to the sandwiches.
• Cheese slices – I used Harvarti cheese slices. Harvarti cheese has a mild flavour and it melts pretty quickly.
• Butter – Unsalted butter is used to spread on the bread rolls before toasting it in a skillet.
• Bread – I used Ciabatta rolls for these steak sandwiches. They are sturdy enough to hold all the fillings without the bread falling apart.

NOTE, The full recipe and instructions can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Season and cook steak – Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip over and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest.
2. Crisp bread – Cut open the bread rolls and butter the bread. In the skillet that you cooked the steak in set over medium heat, place all the bread slices in the pan, butter side down. Heat until the bread is crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip over all the bread rolls and get the outside of the bread crisp. Remove from skillet.
3. Slice steak – Thinly slice the cooled steak, removing any fatty bits. Toss the steak together in a bowl with Worcestershire sauce.
4. Assemble sandwiches – Lay out all the bread. On the bottom piece, place a slice of cheese. Top it with shaved steak and caramelized onions. Place the top piece of bread. Wrap in foil and place in a 350 degrees oven for about 10 minutes.
5. Serve – Serve hot from the oven with your favourite dipping sauces or just as come out of the oven.

Recipe Tips

• Cooking steak – See the post for Grilled Striploin with Black Peppercorn Sauce for all the tips on cooking steaks. The steaks for this recipe were cooked medium. Adjust cooking time according to how well done your like your steaks.
• Caramelizing onions – This recipe used premade caramelized onions. See How to Caramelize Onions for all the handy tips.
• Toasting the bread – For best results, use a heavy bottomed skillet. I used a cast iron pan with grill marks. Make sure to toast it until it’s completely crisp. Otherwise, you risk the sandwiches going soggy.
• Prep ahead – You can make the steak and caramelize the onions the day before making these sandwiches. Just keep the ingredients in the fridge until you are ready to assemble.
• Assemble before serving – These sandwiches can be assembled and wrapped in foil up to about one hour before heating and serving.

Substitutions

• Steak – I cooked steak fresh for these sandwiches. But you could easily use leftover steak like the Grilled Striploin with Black Peppercorn Sauce.
• Bread rolls – I used Ciabatta bread rolls for this recipe. You can pretty much use any kind of heavy rustic bread for these sandwiches. Baguette bread would work really well. Alternatively, you could even serve these sandwiches in hamburger buns, hot dog buns or Hawaiian Rolls.
• Cheese – I used Havarti cheese slices for these sandwiches. Alternatively, you could use mozzarella, Gouda, Cheddar, Edam, Swiss or any other sliced cheese that you like.
