Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 11- to 12-ounce salad kit with blue cheese dressing and bacon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Coarsely ground black pepper
2 pinches of red pepper flakes
2 boneless strip steaks (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick; 6 to 7 ounces each)
Kosher salt
2 sub rolls, split and toasted
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, sliced

Steps:

Put the contents of the salad kit in a medium bowl and toss to coat with the dressing; set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and the red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Season the steaks with salt on both sides and sprinkle with the pepper mixture, pressing to adhere. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
Divide the steak between the rolls and top with the red onion, tomato and salad mixture.

BACON-BLUE CHEESE SANDWICHES

Onion jam, which is reason enough to try this sandwich, is simple to make (see the recipe for BLAAK Onion Jam at beekman1802.com, which also sells the jam by the jar). Although any blue cheese is delicious here, look for one that's sliceable or crumbly, not gooey. Stilton, Maytag, and Roaring Forties are good choices.

Ingredients

8 slices white or sourdough bread
6 ounces sweet onion jam
6 ounces blue cheese, sliced
6 slices Irish or Canadian bacon, cooked
Unsalted butter, for pan

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread each of 4 bread slices with 2 tablespoons onion jam. Top each with a quarter of the cheese, 1 1/2 slices bacon, and 1 slice bread.
Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons butter on a griddle or in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches in batches, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total, flipping once and adding more butter as needed. Transfer to a baking sheet, and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Cut in halves or quarters, and serve hot.

GRILLED BRIE AND PEAR SANDWICH

Grilled Brie and Pear Sandwich image

This grilled Brie and pear sandwich is dedicated to National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, which happens every April 12, thanks mostly to bored food bloggers and cheese-industry marketing cartels. I'm looking at you, Wisconsin.
