Yeah, I know, It's been a while. But now I have a recipie to share that I've had repeated success with...and it's tasty.
Okay, the last time I did a steak sandwich it was a lunch that was keeping me sane when Victoria got eaten by a snow storm...and I was both hungry and looking for an excuse to GTFO.
So you need:
-Bread: Ciabatta is ideal, but a bagette or an english muffin make for acceptable subsitutes...it's got to have holes to let the Jus drain into.
-Minute steak: or just take a half-decent steak and slice it thinly...that way you have enough steak for TWO sandwiches, if you follow the latter, tenderise by pounding with a meat hammer.
-Grated Cheddar: as sharp as you can stand, and don't buy that pre-grated stuff unless you want ot miss out on flavor
-Sautéd mushrooms: as brown and rich as you can, slice them thin, or if you're really looking for a flavor boost chop them until they are so fine that you have a sautéd mushroom tapanade...minus the olives.
-Djion Mustard: Trust me on this one
-Steak Rub: Cayenne(a must), Cumin(apreciated), Black Pepper(a nice touch), Salt(Absolutely fucking neccesary) My original steak rub consisted mostly of salt and cayenne...use your best judgement on what's good for you, I like it spicy, but don't go overkill on the salt.
-...If you feel it's neccesary you can make a salad but I feel you're missing the point then.
Now the Prep:
0) Prepare all ingredients, Mix rub and coat your steak and leave to reach room temperature, then sauté mushrooms and keep warm on the burner, grate cheese, Slice bread, Coat bottom of the bread lightly with Djion mustard,
1) Heat up non-stick pan with a LITTLE Oil...as little as possible on the high end of Medium.
2) when the pan is hot, place the steak in and let the surface brown and cook, wait a couple minutes to do so, once the blood rises on the raw end, consider flipping
3) once your steak has cooked on all sides place upon your bread hot side up
4) place your warmed mushrooms on top
5) place your cheese on top of the mushrooms and let it melt.
6) when cheese has melted enough EAT!
