Steak Sandwich

Truly, is there anything better than a steak sandwich? It makes it 100x better when it’s homemade and used with bread that you made yourself. But it does not even have to be that extra. Most likely you have these ingredients hanging around in your fridge/pantry so why not make it into something beautiful.

Ingredients

  • 2 Slices of your fav bread (sourdough)
  • 1LB Bottom Round Steak
  • Pickles, sliced
  • Mayo, enough to spread on the bread
  • 1 Slice Provolone Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Onion, sliced
  • 1 TBSP Butter
  • 1 Garlic Clove, diced
  • 1/4 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt + Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

Melt your TBSP of butter into a small pan. Add in the onions and begin to caramelize, this is a long process so if you don’t want to wait just saute them. If you would like to caramelize, let the onions cook in the butter on low for about 30-40 minutes.

While the onions are cooking marinate the steak. Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, add in the Worcestershire sauce + garlic + steak. Let marinade for about 20 minutes.

Heat up about 1/2 TBSP of olive oil in a large pan. Add in the steak and cook about 4 minutes on each side for med-rare. Let the steak cool, then cut against the grain into strips.

Add the steak back into the pan with the heat on low, add on the cheese, and cover with a lid. Add a little extra water to create steam to melt the cheese.

Once the steak is ready, toast your bread and lightly coat one slice with mayo, add on the sliced pickles, steak, then caramelized onions.

Serve with french fries or whatever side you desire.

Chicken Caprese Sandwich

Sandwiches are the perfect lunch meal. You get a just about everything you need; bread, meat, and veggies. I recently made some focaccia

and decided that a sandwich for lunch was just what I needed. Inspiration taken from a caprese salad, swapping out basil for spinach for our greens.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of Sandwich bread of your choosing – I used focaccia
  • 1 Chicken Thigh
  • 1 TSP Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 TBSP Oil, canola/vegetable
  • 1 TSP Balsamic
  • 1 TSP Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tomato, sliced
  • Handful of Spinach
  • 1/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • Salt + Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

In a pan, heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken thigh. Season both sides with Red pepper + Garlic + Salt + Pepper and pour over the balsamic. Cook about 9 minutes each side, leaving the chicken alone so the skin gets crispy. Once fully cooked, set aside.

Toast the sandwich bread that you are choosing to use. On the top slice, add on the mozzarella cheese. On the bottom slice place spinach then tomato slices. As the chicken is cooled, slice length wise and place over the tomato. Finish off the sandwich, cut in half, and enjoy!

Always Hungry,
