The Ultimate Steak Sandwich--Watch Out

Sue's Kitchen's Note:

These are the best steak sandwiches I adopted when I was homesick for Montreal...perhaps better than my memory!! Enjoy.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 minute steaks or 2 cube steaks
• McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
• ½ green pepper , sliced
• 8 button mushrooms , sliced
• 1 small onion , sliced
• butter or margarine
• salt and pepper
• 3 garlic cloves
• parsley
• 2 kaiser rolls (or any hardy roll, sometimes french bread does the trick)
• 2 slices mozzarella cheese or 2 slices swiss cheese

Directions:

1. Season steak with spice and set aside.
2. Chop garlic and add 1/4 cup of butter and chopped parsley.Microwave for 1 minute and let rest.
3. Add green pepper, onion and mushrooms to frying pan - dot with butter and add some salt and pepper. Cook over med/low heat until soft.
4. Halve the kaiser rolls and butter with the garlic mixture on both sides. Add slice of mozzarella/swiss (sometimes I combine) to bottom half of rolls.
5. Sprinkle a second frying pan (or grill) with olive oil and when ready, sear the seasoned steaks on both sides. Turn off heat and cover with tin foil tent for at least 5 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
7. Assemble sandwiches by adding steak on top of cheese, add mushroom/green pepper/onion mixture and close sandwich with top of roll.
8. Wrap in tin foil and heat in oven for 10 minutes.
9. Remove and let then cool a bit -- then enjoy!

Made these for an after school snack . I did leave out the mushrooms, and used swiss cheese. For this I used cubed steaks since they were on sale. Made for a late lunch. Very easy to whip these up. Plan on saving and making again. Made for Best of Cookbook tag 2011.

This is a delicious sandwich. My DH says it's like something he'd order at a nice restaurant for lunch. We made it with cube steaks and sliced Swiss, although neither of us has ever had cube steaks before! Instead of wrapping the sandwiches in foil at the end, a method I will probably try in the future, we grilled slices of sourdough bread in the same grill pan used to cook the veggies. This is going into my Best of 2011 cookbook. Thanks, Sue's Kitchen! Made for Spring 2011 PAC.

This was so good! I used minute steaks and they were not tough at all. I cooked everything in a pan and I think this helped to tenderize the meat by cooking in its own juices. What a great way to use minute steaks!
