In this non-traditional steak sandwich, the steak is cut into thick strips, so we're able to get a nice sear on the outside without having to worry about the inside overcooking. Ingredients:
1 (2 pound) fully-trimmed flat iron steak |
salt and pepper |
8 ounces brown clamshell mushrooms, grilled, separated |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
3 tablespoons barbeque sauce |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
6 hot dog buns |
1/2 cup mayonnaise, or as needed |
1 cup arugula leaves, or as needed |
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes |
Directions:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. 2. Cut steak into 6 thick strips. Season generously with salt and pepper. 3. Grill mushrooms for 5-6 minutes over medium-high heat until they begin to wilt. Remove the stem end to separate the mushrooms. 4. Stir mushrooms in a bowl with salt and pepper, sherry vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil. Set aside. 5. Grill steaks for 3-4 minutes per side over medium-high heat, until medium rare or to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes. 6. Whisk together barbeque sauce, cider vinegar and vegetable oil. Set aside. 7. Serve grilled steaks on hot dog buns with mayonnaise, arugula, cherry tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, and barbeque sauce mixture. |
