Roast Beef Panini With Chipotle Mashed Potato Aioli 5fix Food

ROAST BEEF AND CAMEMBERT PANINI WITH ARUGULA AIOLI

Steps:

• For the caramelized onions: Place a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter and heat until the butter melts. Add the onions, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and garlic. Sprinkle the onion mixture with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, 45 minutes.
• For the arugula aioli: Meanwhile, add the mayonnaise, arugula, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to the carafe of a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until it becomes a smooth sauce that is vibrant green in color, about 30 seconds. Set aside for sandwich assembly or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• For the panini: Lay 2 pieces of bread out on a work surface. Spread each piece of bread with 1 tablespoon of arugula aioli. Place 3 slices of Brie on 1 piece of bread. Layer the roast beef over the Brie. Spread 3 tablespoons of caramelized onions over the beef. Close the sandwich with the other piece of bread, aioli facing in. Repeat this process to assemble 3 more sandwiches.
• Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Gather a piece of parchment paper and a cast-iron pan to use as a weight on top of the sandwiches.
• Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into the pan, followed by 2 sandwiches. Lay the parchment over the sandwiches and cover with the cast-iron pan. Gently press the cast iron into the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove the cast-iron pan and parchment and flip the sandwiches over. Replace the parchment and cast-iron pan and cook the sandwiches until the bread is toasted and the cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes more. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and repeat this process with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 sandwiches.
• Cut each panini in half to serve.

HEARTLAND PHILLY CHEESE STEAK AND POTATO BASH #5FIX

Steps:

• Remove steaks from freezer and let thaw for at least an hour. The meat will be a lot easier to cut thin if partially frozen. To prepare steak, using a very sharp knife, cut steak at an angle into thin slices and then chop again into smaller pieces, sort of like stir-fry but smaller. Set aside for later use.
• Rinse red bell pepper, and cut into a coarse dice. Peel onion and chop into a coarse dice. Set aside.
• Prepare hash browns according to package directions, except break hash browns up rather than make into a patty. You want them to be nice and brown. When hash browns are done, remove from skillet and set aside.
• Add a tad bit of oil to the same non-stick skillet used to cook the potatoes. Sauté the chopped red pepper and onion together for 2-3 minutes or until the onion starts to caramelize. Add the chopped steak to skillet and continue to stir-fry until done, about 4-5 minute more. Return hash browns to skillet with meat, onions, and peppers and toss together over low heat until well incorporated.
• Remove lid from Cheez Whiz jar and heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Pour about half of the Cheese Whiz over steak and potatoes. Serve immediately.
• Recipe makes 4 - 6 servings.
