Griddled Steak Sandwich With Olive Caper Butter Food

GRILLED STEAK WITH TAPENADE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Pulse the olives, shallot, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons olive oil and the juice of 1/2 lemon in a food processor; season with salt and pepper.
• Pierce the steak all over with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Rub 1 heaping tablespoon olive mixture all over the steak, then set aside, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the remaining olive mixture with the tomatoes, parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon in a small bowl.
• Grill the steak until browned on one side, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook about 7 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Cut in half; reserve one half for steak sandwiches. Thinly slice the remaining steak against the grain and top with the olive-tomato tapenade.

GRILLED STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and pour it into a large gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Add the steak and turn to make sure it is completely covered by the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 12, turning the bag occasionally.
• Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Once melted add the flour and stir until it becomes a light blonde color. Slowly whisk in milk. Bring the milk up to a simmer while stirring. Once at a simmer, stir in the cheese, a handful at a time. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm until ready to use.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Toss green onions in a bowl with olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess drain off. Grill the steak for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare and about 8 to 10 minutes for medium. Remove the steak from the grill to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the steak rests, put the green onions and baguettes on the grill. Cook the green onions until charred and soft, about 4 minutes, and toast the bread until golden.
• To assemble, slice the steak, at a 45 degree angle, into very thin slices across the grain. Put some of the steak on the bottom of each roll, top with some grilled green onions, and smother with provolone cheese sauce. Cover with the top of the roll and serve.

STEAK SALAD SANDWICHES WITH CAPERS

Steps:

• Combine cooked steak, capers, cornichons, red onion, Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in medium bowl; toss to blend. Season salad with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Arrange bread on work surface. Spread slices with remaining 3 tablespoons mayonnaise. Divide steak salad among 4 bread slices. Top salad on each with 2 tomato slices and 1/4 of arugula. Press second bread slice, mayonnaise side down, onto each sandwich. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half and serve.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE STEAKS WITH OLIVE AND CAPER SPREAD

Steps:

• In a food processor chop coarse the olives and the capers. The olive and caper spread may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, brush them with the oil, and season them with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks on a rack set 4 inches over glowing coals for 10 minutes on each side for rare to medium-rare meat. (Alternatively, the steaks may be broiled on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 10 minutes on each side.) Let the steaks stand, covered loosely with foil, for 8 minutes. Serve the steaks, sliced, with the olive and caper spread garnished with the parsley.
