The tender steak and soft shallots are ideal partners in this sandwich. They're also great over mashed potatoes with a simple arugula salad on the side.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless New York strip steaks (¾ inch thick; 1 ½ pounds total), excess fat trimmed

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 large shallots, thinly sliced (2 cups)

  • cup heavy cream

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 4 sandwich rolls, split and toasted

  • 2 cups baby arugula

Directions

  1. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over high. Cook steaks until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil.

  3. Reduce heat to medium, add shallots, and cook until softened, 8 minutes.

  4. Add cream and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Stir in mustard and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice steak against the grain. Make sandwiches with rolls, shallots, steak, and arugula.
