Steak Sandwiches
- 2 pounds Skirt, Flank, Or Tri-tip Steak
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Monterey Steak Seasoning
- 1 package (1 Oz. Package) Au Jus
- 1 whole French Baguette (Slice In Large Sections And Then Down The Middle) Or 6 Rolls
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 4 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
- 4 slices Swiss Cheese
- 1.
- Several hours before serving, remove steak from the refrigerator and trim any excess fat.
- I love to use skirt steak, but I buy whatever is on sale.
- 2.
- Rub the steak generously with olive oil.
- 3.
- Sprinkle with Monterey Steak Seasoning.
- 4.
- Place in a plastic bag and put back into the refrigerator.
- 5.
- Approximately 1/2 hour before serving, remove steak from the refrigerator and heat your grill to high.
- 6.
- Once grill is heated, I turn it down to medium and cook for 6-8 minutes a side or until done according to your liking.
- I personally think the tougher steaks like flank and skirt steak should be cooked to no more than medium.
- 7.
- Put a piece of foil over the steak and let rest.
- 8.
- Make the au jus sauce according to package instructions.
- 9.
- Slice rolls in half.
- Brush one side of the roll with olive oil or butter and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese.
- Lay a slice of Swiss cheese on the other side of the roll.
- Place under the broiler and cook until the bread starts to turn golden and the cheese melts.
- Dont walk away (like I did, and burn the bread the first time!
- I hate wasting food!)
- 10.
- Slice the meat.
- This is the most important part if you want tender meat on your sandwiches.
- Slice very thin, on the bias against the grain.
- What does against the grain mean?
- Study your steak; you will see the direction of the grain.
- Now you want to slice across or through that grain.
- That makes for tender meat.
- See the picture on my blog by clicking on the related link above if you are still confused.
- 11.
- Pile the meat on your roll, dip in the au jus and enjoy!
- Tell your kids no when they ask if you can have this every night for dinner.
- You can also put horseradish sauce on your sandwich if you like.
