Beef Lover's Dream Sandwich

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is *the* ultimate sandwich for leftover roast beef, I also make this using thinly sliced leftover steak, you may adjust all amounts as desired, the amounts listed should make 6-8 sandwiches depending on the amounts used in the sandwiches --- I suggest to use crusty buns for this, they will hold the sauce better :)"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 -4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3 cups button mushrooms, sliced

• 3 lbs cooked steak or 3 lbs roast beef, sliced thinly
• swiss cheese or provolone cheese, slices
• 6 -8 Italian rolls, sliced in half

directions

1. In a skillet cook the onions in butter and oil with sugar until soft and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes) season with salt and remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain the fat.
2. Add in the mushrooms and fresh garlic to the skillet; cook over medium heat until mushrooms begin to just turn brown; transfer to a bowl.
3. To the same skillet add in the beef broth to deglaze the pan; simmer for 5-6 minutes scraping down any browned bits.
4. Add in whipping cream, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and mustard, stir for 1-2 minutes over low heat with a wooden spoon.
5. Then add in the cooked mushrooms and beef slices to the sauce in the skillet; stir to combine.
6. Divide the steak/sauce mixture on the bread slices.
7. Top with Swiss cheese, sprinkle with sauteed onions, then top with remaining bread slices.
8. Delicious!

"Oh maw Gaw Ki-en!" (Me raving about this with my mouth full of roast beef wonderfulness). This should be (probably IS) illegal in some states. "Bwess you" Yumm-oh! Angela

This made for a nice lunch. Nothing in it was overpowering which is the way I like it. I could even taste the meat. I scaled this down for 1 person. I used my judgment on how much of everything to use. The sauce boiled down to a nice rich sauce, not to runny and not to pasty.

Good sammie! I used some leftover rib eye and sauteed some bell pepper with the mushrooms. Thanks Kittencal for a nice meal. Made for All You Can Cook Buffet special.

We are always on the lookout for good sandwiches and this one sounded real good. My GF Cassie made these for us and we couldn't wait to sink our teeth into them! These will be made again! Thanks! Mike

My DH and I enjoyed this very much with thinly sliced leftover ribeye steaks. I used a whole wheat hogie type roll that worked very well. I used balsamic vinegar with the onions instead of sugar just because I had it. It was very good but I will not hesitate to use sugar also. I might add some green peppers to the mix next time. Thanks for another great recipe!!!
