I have some thin beef steaks from M&S and I am gonna use them for steak sandwiches tomorrow.
I will get a small baguette and use half for me and half for my boyfriend.
I usually put some cheddar on the open baguette, toast in the oven to melt the cheese then add fried onions (raw for me as it's healthier) and some mustard along with the steaks.
How would you build the sandwich?
My boyfriend is quite fussy and won't eat blue cheese for example, which I used in the past in my baguette, just cheddar... the other day I cooked some pasta and used some pecorino on it and he said it smelled like sick :eek:.
I was thinking of using some relish (I tried onion relish before) or different sauce that compliments the beef steaks. Any suggestion?

No offence, but if you're having a baguette with cheese and steak, non fried onions really won't make it that much healthier:D
As for accompaniments, mushrooms work well, as does some Dijon mustard, or horseradish mayo. You could try caramelising some garlic cloves to spread over the bread also.
They are insisting on cheese too, whether its blue cheese, cheddar or pecorino
Haha yes, I love cheese ... as for the fried onions, I know cheese and steak already have lots of calories but it makes me feel better knowing I am not having even more
You treat him well dont you!
This is a good idea, I have rocket to use up in fact.
:cool:
I think my wife must be broken - I've had to make my own sarnies for the last 14 years
b) parmesan and similar cheese does smell like sick.
What you can do is goto the butchers and ask them to slice ribeye for you. You want it like thick bacon.
You can then quickly fry it. Use a spatula or other utensil to break it up. You can also add stock and cover it to steam it slightly.
If you watch Man v Food or similar shows then it's how some of the restaurants/diners do philly cheesesteaks.
For the cheese there are many sliced varieties available in supermarkets. You could use mozzarella but if you want more flavour then you could go for emmenthal or gouda.

On that one the base was rocket, then the beef, then a marinara sauce topped with a melted cheese sauce.
that looks good and pretty much what I would do.
I had these M&S steaks to use so I made do with them. They were very thin.
I ended up using caramelised red onion chutney (first time I used it and I really liked it), medium cheddar (boyfriend only likes medium cheddar), wholegrain mustard and rocket.
Steaks were ok, not as nice as thin sirloin steaks but not chewy.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions
It would be boring for a dinner.
A few nachos and some really nice coleslaw on the side with a bit of salad to garnish.

A T-bone Steak batch (roll) takes some beating.
How do you not bite into the bone? If the meat is taken off the bone and put on a sandwich then it's no-longer a T-bone!
