GOURMET STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl until well blended, then keep cold in the refrigerator.
• Slice the leftover steak and warm the slices in a small fry pan over the stove on medium heat. You don't need to overcook them, just warm them up then remove from heat and onto a plate.
• In the same fry pan, add a little vegetable oil and the red pepper slices. Cook over medium heat until the red peppers begin to soften. Drizzle on some balsamic vinegar and cook a few more minutes, then remove from heat.
• Open the sandwich rolls and spread a layer of pesto mayo on both sides of the roll. Top the bottom slice with the warmed steak slices, gorgonzola cheese crumbles, sautéed red peppers, and lettuce mix. Add the top bun and serve. Makes 4 sandwiches.

STEAK-LOVERS' LEFTOVERS (SANDWICHES)

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium heat; add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden.
• (Note: The original recipe says to cook until"golden and crispy". I've never managed to get them crispy, but they're delicious just caramelized.) Using a slotted spoon to allow excess oil to drip back into the skillet, remove onion slices to paper towels to drain.
• Reduce heat to moderately low and add mushrooms and garlic to skillet.
• Cook in remaining oil, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to turn brown; transfer mixture to a small bowl.
• Pour broth into skillet and deglaze, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add cream, catsup, worcestershire and mustard.
• (The recipe doesn't say to, but at this point I let it simmer a little while to reduce sauce and thicken a bit.) Cut bread loaf in half horizontally and butter each half lightly.
• Cut each half into 4 equal pieces and toast in oven, buttered side up.
• Stir sliced beef and mushroom mixture into sauce and heat thoroughly.
• Place beef slices on bottom slices of bread, spooning desired amount of sauce over each slice.
• Sprinkle caramelized onions over each sandwich and place other half of bread slices on top.

LEFTOVER STEAK SANDWICH WITH ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Butter each large half of the bread then, the place under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown lightly or until slightly crisp.
• In a large skillet cook the onions in the butter and oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the onions are crisp and golden, season with salt and black pepper; transfer to a paper towel using a slotted spoon.
• Add in more butter and/or oil to the skillet if desired and add in the sliced mushrooms and garlic; sauté until the mushrooms loose their moisture and are lightly browned; transfer mushroom/garlic mixture to a bowl.
• To the same skillet add in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper, stirring with a wooden spoon to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the skillet.
• Add in whipping cream, ketchup and mustard; simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
• Add in the beef slices and mushroom/garlic mixture, stirring until heated through, simmer over low heat for about 3 minutes (or more if desired) stirring occasionally.
• On the bottom half of the browned bread place sliced cheese, then green pepper rings, then steak/gravy mixture.
• Season with black pepper and then top with browned onions.
• Top with the remaining bread, the cut into serving size pieces.
