26 Mar steak sandwich

Posted at 22:12h in lunch, recipes, supper by

Sometimes a substantial sandwich for supper is all that’s need to cure what ails you. This week, we’re using our trusty caramelized onion recipe to give our steak sandwich a bit of sweetness.

steak sandwich (serves 4)

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of olive oil

2 onions

2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1 piece of steak

1 baguette, sliced into 4 pieces

Rocket

4 tablespoons of mayo

50g Blue Cheese (optional)

 

Method

 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Peel your onions and slice them into half-moon shapes. Add them to the frying pan and fry for 3 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar, and continue to fry gently for another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are dark in colour and sweet to taste.

 

  1. Heat a smaller frying pan over a high heat and cook your steak to your liking. We season our steak with salt and pepper before cooking on one side over a very high heat for 8 minutes, flipping over and resting in the pan off the heat for 5 minutes before slicing.

 

  1. Assemble your sandwich by layering bread with mayo, rocket, slices of steak, a spoonful of caramelized onions and a crumbling of blue cheese, if using.
