Sunday Casual Dinner Steak Sandwich (photos)

Here is a nice end of the day meal, done our way. What I want in this sandwich is the flavor of the meat, caramelized onions and balsamic. Any other flavors are wasted on me, so I keep everything simple. I am a sucker for a good baguette and Caters' Deli here in Meridian has good ones in their freezer. Just brown them off in the oven and you are set for a sandwich.

You'll need:

Bread - Frozen Baguettes
Steak - a New York strip just a little over an inch thick, seasoned with some Lawry's and black pepper.
Onions - 2 medium sliced thin
Balsamic Vinegar
butter and oil, salt and pepper
Mayo and mustard



First thing is to sauté the onions in a Tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of oil.





It takes a while to sauté onions. When they get nice and brown, I add about a tablespoon of Balsamic Vinegar.



and set them aside



I want the flavor of the onions in my steak, so it gets seared in the same pan as the onions.











The steak was pulled from the pan at cold center rare and allowed to rest for ten minutes while I cooked the bread and made some mustard mayo dressing (Very light on the mustard).







Cut the steak cross grain as thin as possible after ten minutes rest. Cold center rare.



Bread out of oven, sliced, mayo mustard added. then at last moment, warm the meat in the sauté pan.



Meat on bun. Onions on Meat, Then on the table with kettle chips and cold beer.



Nice meal for a Sunday night.
