Stuffed with steak, vegetables, and cheese, this French dip-style sandwich is a complete one-dish meal. Ingredients:
2 medium onions |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1 garlic clove, minced |
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided |
1 (10 1/2-ounce) can condensed beef consommé, undiluted |
1 pound flank steak, trimmed |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups) |
1 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms |
1 (8-ounce) loaf french bread, about |
16 inches long |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded fontina cheese |
Directions:
1. Dice enough onion to yield 1/4 cup. Slice remaining onion to yield 2 cups; separate slices into rings.
2. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir well, and set aside.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, and sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Add cornstarch mixture, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and consommé; bring to a boil. Cook sauce 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; keep warm.
4. Preheat broiler.
5. Sprinkle both sides of steak with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place steak on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
6. While steak cooks, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms; sauté 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid evaporates. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
7. Slice bread in half lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Carefully open bread without separating the halves. Place, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
8. Place steak slices and vegetables on bottom half of bread; sprinkle cheese evenly over vegetables. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Close sandwich, and cut into 5 equal portions. Serve immediately with warm dipping sauce.
