Fabulous Steak Sandwich W/Spinach/Cucumbers/Green Goddess Spread
This steak sandwich is one fantastic eating experience. With fresh spinach, crunchy cucmbers, and a tasty green goddess spread, it's like a sandwich and salad all rolled into one! ; First off - choose the right bread. Use a fresh artisan loaf one that is crafted (rather than mass produced) with a crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior. Ciabatta or focaccia are ideal. Secondly, the green goddess spread - it gives the sandwich personality.:) The tarragon (not one of my favorites!) in it asserts lots of fresh herb flavor, while the scallion packs an extra "green" punch. We made two green goddess spreads one with the tarragon and one with basil - while not traditional in green goddess, the basil will still add herb flavor. : CuisineAtHome, Issue 82, August 2010 edition.
