I'm a little excited to go grocery shopping tomorrow, I'm gonna pick up the ingredients I don't currently have so I can make tons of steak, chicken, and chicken finger sandwiches whenever I want until I take off from home. Sandwiches are my favorite thing in the world and I have a million and one different types of sandwiches to make through using different meats, aiolis, compound cream cheeses, bacons/cheeses, whatever I got around I can make a sandwich out of it. But here is THE sandwich, my favorite way ever to do a sandwich. It's just absolutely beautiful.
First, you can choose to marinate the steak if you wish, or herb it up any way you want before cooking, or simply season with salt and pepper. My favorite is to use dried thyme, cumin seeds and crushed chili flakes. They are a great blend of spices together.
Have a good bun on hand, just a white bread tuscany bun is my favorite to use. Or baguettes, white or whole wheat are another awesome choice.
So anyway, cut the steak up in to nice little chunks. Pieces you can bite without pulling pieces out leaving parts of just bun. Get a pan nice and hot and start searing to your preferred temp. Halfway through take some reduced balsamic vinegar and drizzle it on, then finish cooking.
In another pan sautee up some onions and red bell peppers. Once they are caramelized, drop in cream cheese and a small bit of cream with it so it melts to a good sauce consistency and doesn't just stick and burn to the pan.
So those are the 2 tricks that really matter. Put the cream cheesed veggies on the bottom of the bun, balsamic steak on top of that, nice strips or breakfast bacon (or any bacon) on top of that and you're set. Lettuce, tomatoes are also always good on there too but not needed for this one. I've had a couple people request pickles, I refuse to do it though, just dont feel it goes with the flavours at all.
