Tomato Steak Sandwiches Recipes

GAME-DAY STEAK SANDWICHES WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• If marinating the steak, place it in a casserole dish. Pour the Steak Marinade over the steak and turn to coat completely. Cover and marinate for a few hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade, if using, and allow the steak to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high. Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Grill the steak to the desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes for medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 130 degrees F). Place the meat on a cutting board and allow to rest at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the onions thinly into half moons. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook the onions until they begin to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the sun-dried tomatoes and prepared horseradish in a food processor and pulse to combine. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the fresh horseradish, mayonnaise and sour cream. Add the sun-dried tomato mixture and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (Can be made a day or 2 ahead.)
• Drizzle a little oil on the cut sides of the ciabatta and toast on the grill.
• To assemble the sandwiches, toss the arugula in a small bowl with a little olive oil and salt. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Place a dollop of the sun-dried tomato mixture on both halves of the toasted ciabatta loaf or rolls. Layer the steak over the tomato. Next, top the steak with the caramelized onions and some arugula. Close the sandwich with the top half of ciabatta, slice and serve.
• Combine the Worcestershire, oil, garlic, rosemary and chile in a large bowl and mix well.

ULTIMATE STEAK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Split the rolls open and toast them on a baking sheet in the oven while it is preheating. Mix together the mayonnaise, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. Remove the rolls from the oven when toasted as desired.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the sliced steak and onions in the pan and season with sea salt, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Cook and stir until the steak is browned and the onion is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Generously spread the prepared garlic-Parmesan mayonnaise on both halves of the toasted rolls. Divide the steak and onion mixture evenly among the bottom halves of the rolls, piling them high. Top each with 2 slices provolone cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Place the tops on the sandwiches.
• Bake the sandwiches on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

ITALIAN STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook onion in butter 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender; push to side of skillet.
• Add beef steaks to skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 5 to 8 minutes, turning once, for medium doneness (160°F).
• Spread pesto on cut sides of buns. Layer steaks, cheese, onion and tomato in buns.

BUDGET STEAK SANDWICH WITH ROASTED TOMATOES & ARUGULA AIOLI

Steps:

• Marinade the steak -- add the package of good seasonings mix to a large baggie with the olive oil and vinegar and shake to combine. Add the steak and seal and refrigerate at least 4 hours up to 8. I don't like packaged mixes much, but -- this is an exception. I really like it and it is easy and works great. Remember this is all about a easy dinner on a budget.
• Toppings -- when you get home roast or grill (which is my preference) the tomatoes and onions. Just toss with olive oil, red pepper, salt and pepper and grill or roast in the oven at 425 on a cookie sheet lined with foil or you can also use a grill pan. Either one works. Just grill until the tomatoes or brown or lightly soft and the same with the onions. Just set to the side. They do not have to be served hot.
• Make the aioli -- Add the arugula, mayo and lemon to a food processor and mix until well combined. Done, just chill. This can be done a day ahead.
• Steak -- Steak is done marinating, just grill or pan fry or any method you prefer. I like this grilled. Just 4-5 minutes per side on high heat to get a nice crust and then flip. Another 3-4 minutes and remove. Should be medium rare. Remove and set to the side and cover with foil to let rest.
• Rolls -- Just cut in half and toast in the oven or on the grill until slightly brown on the cut side. No oil needed. Just toast until golden.
• Put the sandwiches together. Layer each side of the roll with the mayo, then one side with cheese, then sliced steak. Cut the steak on the bias always, then some of the onions, a couple of tomato slices, another slice of cheese and the top roll also smathered with the aioli mixture.
• Wrap in foil and bake 10 minutes at 400. Enjoy! The absolute steak sandwich.

BROILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack 6 inches from the top of the oven, preheat the broiler, and and arrange tomato slices on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Combine olive oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and brush onto the tops of the tomatoes.
• Combine bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the tomatoes.
• Place under the broiler until topping starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
• Transfer tomatoes to a plate, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve.

STEAK SANDWICHES WITH TOMATO PESTO

Steps:
