The gorgeous Eden Farrell, wolf-shifter asked for a steak sandwich in my WIP, Wolf Bond
and set me going to look for yummy steak sandwich recipes
“Coffee,
black, please, and what about a steak and fried egg sandwich is that doable?”
His blue eyes flicked to the menu board on the wall at the back of the counter.

Serves 4
35 minutes
Special equipment: large skillet with lid, paper towels, foil
This recipe appears in: The Best Inexpensive Steak for the Grill, Part 1: Hanger Steak Sandwiched: Steak with Caramelized Onion-Jalapeño Sauce
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds hanger steak, trimmed
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
2 fresh jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced (see Notes)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
4 sturdy rolls, such as ciabatta, halved lengthwise (see Notes)
4 cups loosely packed salad greens (optional)
Procedures
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Pat steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Cook steak until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil.
Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in now empty skillet. Add onions, jalapeños, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and deep golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir in cream and any accumulated beef juices and cook just to heat through, about 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning and stir in vinegar.
To assemble, slice steak thinly on the bias. Top one side of each roll with optional greens and arrange slices on top. Spoon sauce over steak. Serve warm.
The chimichurri and flank steak
1
1 1/2 to 2-pound flank steak
1
cup flat leaf parsley cleaned and large stems removed, finely chopped (by hand
or use food processor)
1/2
cup baby arugula, finely chopped (by hand or use food processor)
2
cloves garlic, minced (you can add to parsley and arugula in food processor)
1/4
teaspoon dried oregano
1/4
teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2
cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
2
tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt
and pepper to taste
For
chimichurri, place all ingredients except flank steak into a bowl, stir to
combine. For the steak, cover both sides of the steak with some of the
chimichurri, put in ziplock bag and refrigerate for one or two hours. Cover and
refrigerate the rest of the chimichurri.
Searing
the steak and making the sandwich
1
brioche pullman loaf or if you prefer a white pullman loaf
1/4
cup mayonnaise
1
beefsteak or heirloom tomato, sliced
Soft
butter for bread
salt
before you sear and pepper after
2
tablespoons Chimichurri to mix with mayonnaise
Remove
steak from refrigerator approximately 45 minutes before you are going to cook
it. Scrape off some of the chimichurri, salt the steak and let rest. While
steak is resting prepare the other ingredients: slice tomato, slice bread in
1-inch thick slices, mix the mayonnaise and chimichurri.
To
sear the steak: First with a paper towel pat the steak to remove any excess
moisture. In a very hot fry pan lay steak, let it sear without disturbing it.
Cook approximately 3-4 minutes on each side for a medium rare steak. (You will
have to judge exactly how long to sear based on the thickness of the steak.)
Remove from pan, lay on cutting board, pepper the steak now, let rest 5-10
minutes.
While
steak is resting, heat a fry pan (if you have one with ridges it will make nice
grill marks on the bread). Spread butter on each side of bread, place in hot
pan and grill, about a minute per side.
When
steak has rested, slice thinly, cutting across the grain. To put your sandwich
together, spread the chimichurri mayonnaise on each side of bread, lay meat on
bread, then add the tomato, put the other slice of bread on top and enjoy.
