Steak Sandwiches With Crispy Onions Food

NEXT-LEVEL STEAK & ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature, then cover it with greaseproof paper and bash it with the base of a pan to tenderise and make it all roughly the same thickness.
• Meanwhile, peel the onions, also removing the first layer of flesh (reserve this for a soup or stew), then slice into 2cm-thick rounds.
• Put the butter, a lug of oil and the sugar into a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Once the butter has melted, place the onions into the pan in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour in the vinegar, pop the lid on, reduce the heat to low and cook for around 35 minutes, or until beautifully golden and caramelised on the bottom only, adding splashes of water to loosen, if needed.
• Meanwhile, pop the ciabatta into the oven, turn onto 110°C/225°F/gas ¼ and leave to warm through.
• Season the steak all over with sea salt and black pepper. Place a large non-stick heavy-bottomed pan on a high heat. Once screaming hot, drizzle the steak with olive oil, then put it into the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side for medium, or to your liking.
• Remove to a plate, rest for 1 minute, then slice 1cm thick and toss through its own resting juices with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
• Cut the warm ciabatta in half and rub the inside of each piece in the steak resting juices. Spread on some mustard, if you like, then layer over the caramelised onions, the steak and pinches of watercress.
• Pop the other piece of bread on top, press down lightly, carve up into decent chunks and get involved.

STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CRISPY ONIONS

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the onions in the butter and the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp and golden and transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
• In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the mushrooms and the garlic over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to turn brown and transfer the mixture to a plate.
• Add the broth to the skillet and deglaze the skillet, scraping up the brown bits.
• Add the cream, the ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce, and the mustard and stir in the mushroom mixture and the steak slices.
• Divide the steak mixture among the bottom bread pieces, sprinkle it with some of the onions, and top the onions with the remaining bread pieces.

GAME-DAY STEAK SANDWICHES WITH MUSHROOMS, ONIONS AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• If marinating the steak, place it in a casserole dish. Pour the Steak Marinade over the steak and turn to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, if using, and allow the steak to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high. Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Grill the steak to the desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes for medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 130 degrees F). Place the meat on a cutting board and allow to rest at least 5 minutes.
• While the steak cooks and rests, slice the onions thinly into half moons. Slice the mushrooms very thinly. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 cup of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly caramelized. Add the mushrooms. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle a little oil on the cut sides of the ciabatta and toast on the grill.
• Stir the mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• To assemble the sandwiches, thinly slice the steak against the grain. Place a dollop of the mayonnaise mixture on both halves of the toasted ciabatta loaf or rolls and spread evenly. Layer the sliced Gruyere on the top half of the ciabatta. (If you want melted cheese, place the Gruyere-topped ciabatta under a preheated broiler for a minute or two.) Layer the sliced steak on the bottom half of bread. Next, top the steak with the mushrooms and onions. Close the sandwich with the top half of ciabatta, slice and serve.
• Combine the Worcestershire, oil, garlic, rosemary and chile in a large bowl and mix well.

STEAK SANDWICH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove steak from the refrigerator and place on a plate. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Let come to room temperature while you caramelize the onions.
• Prepare the Dijon onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sautee pan over medium high. Add the sliced red onions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onions begin to soften and brown, 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 15 additional minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Dijon to evenly coat. Remove the onions to a plate or bowl, then gently wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
• Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium high. Once the oil is very hot and almost smoking, add the seasoned steaks. Do not crowd them-if your skillet is not large enough to easily accommodate both, cook them in batches. Sear the steaks for 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat to low and cook the steak for about 6-8 minutes, turning once, until rare and a thermometer inserted in the center reaches 125 degrees F. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
• Spread the melted butter onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, using just enough to coat the pan. Lay the bottom of the buns in a single layer in the baking dish, then top with the arugula, steak slices, Brie, and the caramelized onions. Spread the inside of the top buns with about 2 teaspoons jam, then lay the buns on top to complete the sandwiches. Brush the bun tops with the remaining melted butter, then cover the pan with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, just until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy warm.

STEAK & CARAMELISED ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Put the grill on. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta in half lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden.
• Drizzle the toasted ciabatta with olive oil, spread the bottom half with the onions and sit the steaks on top. Cover with the watercress and close the sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta. Cut into four sandwiches and serve two per person. Serve hot.

STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Peel, and cut onions into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions, cook until brown and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; remove onions to a plate.
• Heat another tablespoon oil in same skillet over high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper; cook 30 seconds on each side; remove steaks to plate. Add Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons water to skillet, scraping up browned bits; return onions to skillet and toss to coat.
• Cut up steaks; sandwich steak and onions between bread.
