Steak Sandwiches

A spin-off of a recipe I got from PW's cookbook.(ie. the best cookbook ever)<33>Other nifty things I might add one day: bacon, some type of chopped pepper and maybe some veggies.



STEP ONE:
Preparing the steak.


Throw all of your tiny steaks into a plastic bag.
Throw in some seasoning salt and garlic.



Now add the lemon juice [just a squirt or two] and Tabasco to taste.
If you're like *someone* I know that means a lot.<3



Finally, add in the Dale's! Enough that all of the steaks are covered in salty
goodness and there is a little bit floating around the bottom of the bag.


Now zip up the bag and SHAKE IT. :D
*** I'm planning on pre-making several of these sandwiches and freezing them for future lunches and dinners, if you're going to do that I'd recommend letting the steaks marinate overnight before lightly cooking them.



STEP TWO:
Cooking the steak.


After you've let your steak marinate [30mins or overnight if you're planning on freezing]
cut them into thin slices, the more steak you use the thinner you'll slice it. I used two for my
tiny little girl sandwich, so I cut them into slices about an inch to an inch and a half wide.
If I were making this for someone else, I'd cut them veryyy thin.


Using medium heat, melt a big glob of butter in a skillet.
And while you're doing that toss in your sliced onions and mushrooms, cook them until
their a pretty shade of golden brown and the onions are slightly limp.
*** You'll notice I didn't use onions or mushrooms on my sandwich, its because I won't have enough for the ones I'm planning on making and freezing tomorrow if I did. Awe. :(
Now toss in the meat! If you're like me and want you're meat a little red inside, only
cook it til both sides are browned. [Round tip steak is THIN! It cooks quickly! Be careful.]
*** If you're going to freeze the sandwiches, barely cook the meat since you'll be heating them in an oven and the oven will do most of the cooking then.



STEP THREE:
The sauce and bread.

I didnt take photos of the making of the sauce because quite frankly I'm lazy.
Remove the MEAT ONLY from the warm skillet, and with the stove on low throw in the desired amount of BBQ sauce, add some more butter and whatever other seasoning you want. Cook it for about 4 or 5 minuets.

While thats cooking lets prepare the bread!

Add your cheese of choice.
Then toast it!


Once you've got all that done, put your meat on your gooey melted cheese, then pour on your sauce.


And that's that!

*** If you're planning on freezing, let the sauce cool before adding it to the sandwich, honestly it'd be best for it to be downright cold, so maybe stick it in the freezer for a little while.
This is because you don't want it making your bread soggy before it freezes. You want all your ingredients barely cooked, already cooled and your cheese not melted if you're going to freeze it.
Just sayin'.
