Steak and Onion Sandwiches

Steak and Onion Sandwiches

Quick touches are the key to good steak sandwiches: In 15 minutes, the beef absorbs the flavors of the marinade, and sliced onions become a sweet-tart component.

  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Total Time 45 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 top round steak (1 pound), about 1 1/2 inches thick
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
    • 6 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 head (10 ounces) red-leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
    • 8 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Pierce steak all over with a fork. Place in a shallow dish, and rub with Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 15 minutes. In a small bowl, combine onion, 4 tablespoons vinegar, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook steak 6 minutes. Turn, and cover; reduce heat to medium. Cook until medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes (if steak is browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low). Transfer to a plate; let rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.
  3. While steak rests, stir together 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil in a serving bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, and toss.
  4. Spread 4 slices of bread with Dijon; top with steak and onion. Close sandwiches; serve with salad.

Cook's Note

Steak doesn't have to be a splurge when you pick good-value cuts like top round or skirt.
