Homemade Steak sandwich

Keyword: beef, Beef Fillet, Dinner, Entrecotes, Lunch, sandwich
Prep Time: 6 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs. Bread Preferably baguettes
  • 2 pcs. Entrecôtes I used 180 days dry-aged Sashi AAA striploins
  • 0.5 package Mayonnaise Preferably a good mayo. I used a truffle mayo
  • 6 pcs. Cherry Tomatoes Can be replaced with regular tomatoes
  • salad I used lollo bionda (curly leaf lettuce)
  • Pickled red onions Or onion marmalade
  • Salt Flake salt
  • Pepper From grinder

Instructions

Bread and filling

  • Rinse the tomatoes and lettuce and cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Steak sandwich
  • Split the bread and toast it on a toaster. Preferably toast the inside a bit harder than the outside to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  •  
  • Start by patting the meat dry, preferably with a kitchen towel. If you have the time, take the meat out of the refrigerator half an hour before frying, so its temperature can rise a bit.
  • Cook the steak to your preference. I like mine medium-rare, leaning more towards rare than medium. The thickness will of course determine how long it needs to be cooked.
  • If the meat has very heavy marbling, you don’t need to use any fat for cooking.
  • Make sure your pan is very hot and then place only the fat side down on the dry pan and let the fat get a bit of crust for about a minute. This will provide enough fat to cook the steak in.
  • Place the meat with one side down and sear for 2 minutes, then turn the meat and give it another 2 minutes.
  • Steak sandwich
  • Take the meat off the pan and season it with salt and pepper.
  • Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into thin pieces.

  • Spread the inside of both halves with mayo and place the lettuce on the bottom half. 
  • Place the meat on top and optionally add a bit more flake salt.
  • Add red onions/onion marmalade and then tomatoes. 
  • Put the top on and serve immediately.

Notes

I used these pickled red onions for the recipe. However, they can be successfully replaced by this recipe for onion marmalade.
I used this Sashi steak for the recipe. Of course, you can use any cut of beef you prefer for your steak. It could be rib-eye, hanger steak, or entrecote.
