Tomato Steak Sandwiches Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Toast the bread. Take each slice and rub one side all over with the cut side of the garlic clove. (The clove should start to disintegrate into the bread.) Rub each slice with the cut sides of the soft halved tomato, pressing so the tomato flesh sticks to the bread. Drizzle bread with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
• Spread mayonnaise over the tomato pulp. Place the sliced tomatoes on top of 2 pieces of the bread. Cover tomato slices with onions and sprinkle with salt. Top with bacon if using, then use the other 2 slices of tomato-rubbed bread to make sandwiches. Eat over the sink.

Steps:

• Cut onion into 1/4-in. slices; separate into rings. Place in a large bowl or shallow dish. Add buttermilk; turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight., In a small bowl, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Remove 2 tablespoons herb mixture; stir into mayonnaise. Refrigerate until serving. Stir 1/2 cup olive oil into remaining herb mixture. Reserve 2 tablespoons oil mixture for serving. Place remaining oil mixture in a large bowl or shallow dish. Add beef; turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight., Drain beef, discarding marinade. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until meat reaches desired doneness, 7-9 minutes on each side (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Meanwhile, drain onion rings, discarding marinade. In a shallow dish, combine flour, taco seasoning and remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Roll onion rings in flour mixture. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry onion rings, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels; keep warm., Remove steak to a cutting board; brush with reserved 2 tablespoons oil mixture. Brush bread with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Grill bread over medium heat until toasted, 30-60 seconds on each side., Spread mayonnaise mixture over 1 side of each toast. Thinly slice steak. Top 6 slices of toast with steak, fried onions and, if desired, arugula and tomato slices. Top with remaining toast.
