Steak and mushrooms are always in style. This bistro-style sandwich version of the classic combination goes beyond the basic “meat and potatoes” meal. You can substitute Strip Loin or any Grilling Steak for the Fast-fry Steak, but you’ll find the Fast-fry is quicker to cook and easier to eat in a sandwich recipe.

Ingredients

2 tbsp (30 mL) olive or vegetable oil


4 cup (1 L) sliced assorted mushrooms (i.e. button, shiitake, portobello, cremini), about 4 oz (125 g)


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 cup (250 mL) sliced onion


¼ cup (250 mL) balsamic vinegar


1 lb (500 g) Beef Fast-fry or Strip Loin Grilling Steak


Salt and pepper


Grainy Dijon mustard


2 large crusty rolls, split open


½ cup (125 mL) crumbled chèvre cheese


Arugula or watercress leaves

Directions

Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium heat; cook mushrooms, garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and water from mushrooms cooks off. Stir in balsamic vinegar; cook, stirring for 3 to 5 minutes or until vinegar is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
Rub steak with salt and pepper to your liking. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat on lightly oiled grill or pan for 6 to 8 minutes, turning at least twice for medium-rare doneness 145°F (63°C). Tuck inside rolls that have been brushed inside with mustard.
Toss mushroom mixture with chèvre cheese and top sandwiches. Garnish with arugula. Cut to make 4 sandwiches.
