Steak Sandwiches With Tomato Pesto Food

GOURMET STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl until well blended, then keep cold in the refrigerator.
• Slice the leftover steak and warm the slices in a small fry pan over the stove on medium heat. You don't need to overcook them, just warm them up then remove from heat and onto a plate.
• In the same fry pan, add a little vegetable oil and the red pepper slices. Cook over medium heat until the red peppers begin to soften. Drizzle on some balsamic vinegar and cook a few more minutes, then remove from heat.
• Open the sandwich rolls and spread a layer of pesto mayo on both sides of the roll. Top the bottom slice with the warmed steak slices, gorgonzola cheese crumbles, sautéed red peppers, and lettuce mix. Add the top bun and serve. Makes 4 sandwiches.

TRE COLORE PESTO AND GRILLED STEAK WITH QUICK ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (or the highest setting).
• Bring the steaks to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, remove 1 garlic clove from the bulb and finely grate. Remove the other cloves with the skin still intact and spread them on a baking sheet along with the tomatoes. Toss with about 1/4 cup EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Turn the tomatoes cut-side down. Roast until the tomatoes are charred and softened, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat, then remove to a plate to cool.
• Combine the parsley, basil, endive, radicchio, thyme, pine nuts, lemon juice and cheese in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup EVOO in a slow stream until blended. Transfer the pesto to a serving dish. (Any leftover pesto is delicious on sandwiches or tossed with hot pasta and starchy cooking water.)
• Heat a grill pan or heavy griddle over medium-high heat or prepare an outdoor grill.
• Drizzle the steaks with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook 3 more minutes for medium-rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place the steaks on serving plates and drizzle with the pesto. Serve the roasted tomatoes, garlic and bread on the side. To eat, squeeze the garlic from the skins and rub onto the bread, then top with the tomatoes.

ULTIMATE STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Split the rolls open and toast them on a baking sheet in the oven while it is preheating. Mix together the mayonnaise, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Remove the rolls from the oven when toasted as desired.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the sliced steak and onions in the pan and season with sea salt, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Cook and stir until the steak is browned and the onion is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Generously spread the prepared garlic-Parmesan mayonnaise on both halves of the toasted rolls. Divide the steak and onion mixture evenly among the bottom halves of the rolls, piling them high. Top each with 2 slices provolone cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Place the tops on the sandwiches.
• Bake the sandwiches on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

EASY STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until tender. Push onion to the side of the pan, and add the mushrooms. Cook and stir until softened, then add the bell pepper and cook just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
• Add the remaining butter to the skillet. No need to clean the pan, just let it heat up a little bit. Place the steak in the skillet along with the pickled peppers. Season with salt and pepper. The steak cooks really fast, just a couple of minutes. Once the steak is mostly browned, return the onion and pepper to the pan. Cook until heated through.
• Turn off the heat, and place the slices of cheese over the top of the pile so they can melt. Scoop the whole pile into the awaiting bread, making sure to pour some of the juices onto that wonderful sandwich.

• Lightly brush or spray each side with the oil.
• Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.

PESTO, TOMATO, AND MOZZARELLA SANDWICH

Turn the machine on and drizzle in the olive oil until totally incorporated. Check the consistency of the pesto, then add either more olive oil or more basil leaves, depending on what it needs. Set aside or refrigerate until needed. To build the sandwich, spread some pesto on the cut side of both halves of each ciabatta roll. Lay a thick tomato slice on the bottom halves, followed by a thick slice of mozzarella.
