Steak Sandwich

Growing up there was this steak house that we would always go to Palace Steakhouse in the Mission District. My favorite item from the menu was the Steak Sandwich. The steak was always cooked perfectly and the bread was the perfect thickness, covered in garlic butter then mayonnaise. It's an art in simplicity.  Sadly the owners retired in 2009 and those amazingly delicious steak sandwiches disappeared from my life forever. I've tried to find a replacement, but alas they are nowhere to be found. I found good steak sandwiches but the bread just wasn't the same. It was a special bread, thin, crispy and no extra filler. The search continues for this mystical bread. In the meantime I make my version of this childhood favorite, which is still really tasty, on a baguette or ciabatta.  

I make some garlic butter, spread it on the bread and toast it on a griddle. Grill up a piece of steak or in my case this time around leftover Rib-eye warmed through. Add mayo to the toasted bread, place the steak in between and your ready to enjoy a taste of heaven. No extra frills just the steak and the bread. Simple. Delicious.

Buen Provecho!

Steak Sandwich - Yields 2 sandwiches

Ingredients:

1 leftover Rib-eye Steak, sliced
2 Baguettes or Ciabatta
4 Tbsp garlic butter
2 Tbsp Mayo

Garlic Butter
1 stick of butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 Tbsp cilantro
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp Lime

Side note- You can make the garlic butter ahead of time. The longer it melds the better the flavor. After putting the butter together place it in plastic wrap, shape it into a log and store in refrigerator.

Road map:

1. Preheat griddle or non stick pan. Make garlic butter. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Spread butter on split baguettes. Toast bread on griddle, butter side down.

2.  On the griddle alongside the bread, take your leftover sliced rib-eye warm it through, 1-2 minutes. 

3. Once bread is toasted and steak warmed through, add mayo to the bread and fill with steak.

4.  Enjoy!
