Steak Sandwich With Whipped Goat S Cheese Butter

There’s just something about a steak sandwich, isn’t there? All that grilled, beefy goodness on good bread? Who could resist. And even though good steak and good bread are all you really need, it’s most definitely not all I’ll be giving you today. When I thought of ways to take this sandwich to another level, mushrooms, onions and goat’s cheese kept popping up in my head. I mean, obviously these things are all wonderful together but I wasn’t completely sure how it would all work out. As is the case when I can’t make up my mind, I just started cooking and allowed my natural instincts to take over. And aren’t you glad they did? I fried the onions and mushrooms until they were a deep, golden brown and were starting to caramelize before adding a a few tablespoons of Balsamic vinegar and seasoning. The Balsamic vinegar glazed the vegetables in the most luscious way and I knew the sweet-tangy flavours would work well with the juicy steak. The most obvious way to use the goat’s cheese was to simply smear it onto the bread but I was after something to add more juiciness. That’s when I spotted the butter sitting on the counter, begging to be included in this sandwich party. I whipped the butter and goat’s cheese together and you guys. No, but seriously now. This tangy-salty-goaty-buttery concoction was everything you could hope for it to be. And it added the perfect amount of creaminess to the sandwich.

How to make a steak sandwich

Mix together olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Place steaks in a dish suitable for marinating then pour over the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes but up to 8 hours. Fry the mushrooms and onion in a large, hot skillet until golden brown. Add the Balsamic vinegar and allow to cook for another minute or two until the mushrooms are glazed with the Balsamic. To make the goat’s cheese butter, whip together room temperature butter and soft goat’s cheese until creamy. To cook the steak, preheat a stove-top grill over medium high heat. Place the steaks on the hot grill and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes a side or until cooked to your preference. Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Top slices of crusty bread with a generous dollop of the butter then add slices of grilled steak. Top with the mushrooms and serve.
