The Leftover Steak Sandwich (served on garlic bread!)

leftover steak recipes

This recipe is intended for you to throw this sandwich together with what you’ve got on hand, however, it’s SO GOOD that you may want to plan ahead if you’re dining out at your favorite steakhouse.

Prep: 10min

Total: 55min

Serving Size: 1

Nutrition Facts: calories 1261 calories, Carbohydrate 68 grams carbohydrates, Cholesterol 152 milligrams cholesterol, Fat 92 grams fat, Fiber 5 grams fiber, Protein 45 grams protein, Saturated Fat 24 grams saturated fat, servingSize 1, Sodium 702 milligrams sodium, Sugar 22 grams sugar, Trans Fat 1 grams trans fat, unSaturated Fat 60 grams unsaturated fat

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb leftover steak (or use however much you have leftover)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 large sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, divided
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar, optional
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, optional
  • 2 ciabatta rolls
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sliced cheese

Instruction:

  1. Slice leftover steak against the grain into thin strips. Allow steak to come to room temperature.
  2. Make the horseradish cream. Mix together ½ cup of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish. Adjust the amounts to suit your tastes and according to the strength of the horseradish, which can vary greatly between brands.
  3. Meanwhile, make the caramelized onions. To do this, slice a large sweet onion into rings. Heat a skillet over moderate heat; add a tablespoon of oil. Add onion rings and a pinch of salt; saute slowly until golden brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes or so. Don’t turn up the heat! In fact, if your onions are browning too quickly, turn the heat to medium-low. I like to add a couple teaspoons of brown sugar at the start of cooking; it helps the onions to caramelize and makes them a bit sweeter. You can also try adding a healthy dose of your favorite hot sauce toward the end for an extra spicy treat!
  4. If you’re a mushroom lover, slice some mushrooms and saute over high heat in a small amount of oil (yes, high heat so they get nice and brown…that’s where all the best flavor is).
  5. Now make the garlic bread…that’s right, garlic bread. First, add a minced garlic clove (or two) to ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil; let sit at room temp for at least thirty minutes. Next, take a couple of ciabatta rolls – don’t substitute here, trust me – and brush on your olive oil onto the cut parts of the rolls. Place rolls cut side up on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown.
  6. Top roll bottoms with sliced steak, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and a slice of jack or provolone cheese. Place back under broiler until cheese is melted. Spread horseradish cream onto cut side of roll top and place on top of sandwich.
