Scale
Herb Butter
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
Steak Sandwich
- 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)
- 1 lb steak
- 1 tbsp salt, adjust to taste
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- 1 baguette
Instructions
- Prepare Herb Butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with crushed garlic and diced fresh dill. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly blended. Set the herb butter aside for later use.
- Slice the Steak: Place the steak in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up, making it easier to slice. Then cut the steak into thin strips.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the sliced steak and season generously with salt. Cook the beef until it develops a golden brown color, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onions: Slice the yellow onion into half rings. Using the same skillet with remaining juices, sauté the onion slices until they turn golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Slice the baguette lengthwise. Spread the prepared herb butter evenly on both cut sides of the bread. Layer the cooked steak strips, followed by the sautéed onions, and top with the Havarti cheese slices.
- Broil the Sandwich: Keep the sandwich open-faced and place it under a broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Serve the sandwich immediately while warm to enjoy the perfect combination of melted cheese, seasoned steak, and herb butter.
Notes
- Freezing the steak slightly before slicing helps achieve thinner, more uniform strips.
- Adjust salt according to your preference to control seasoning.
- Use a sturdy baguette to hold all fillings without becoming soggy.
- If you prefer, substitute Havarti cheese with other melting cheeses like Swiss or provolone.
- For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs or a dash of pepper to the steak before cooking.
