The Ultimate Steak Sandwich

Ingredients:

2 Turkish Rolls
Olive oil spray or olive oil
2 Onions, halved and sliced
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1/4 Cup water
1/2 Cup Cheese , Grated
2 Mushrooms, sliced
1/4 Capsicum, Sliced
2 Sirloin Steaks
4 Slices Streaky bacon
1 Tomato, sliced
Lettuce
Mayonnaise
BBQ or Tomato sauce
 

Method:

To make onion relish: Melt Butter & oil in a frying pan, add onions and sauté on a medium heat until onion are soft.  Once onions are soft add salt and sugar and cook until caramelised and tender, you can add a bit of water to the onions if it looks like the sugar is burning (this also creates a really yummy sauce, just don't add too much water, add bit by bit until you get the right consistency) once cooked remove from heat and set aside.

Pre heat the oven to 180'c.

Slice Turkish breads in half lengthways. Spray with olive oil spray or lightly coat with oil.  Place on a baking tray and place in oven until just crisp.

Using the frying pan you cooked the onions in place the capsicum and mushrooms in and sauté until tender and caramelised. Set aside.

To cook the steak I used a cast iron frying pan and pre heated until hot. Salt and pepper steaks on both sides and cook in frying pan until your liking (I prefer medium, which I cooked 4mins each side and then rested for 5mins) Once rested slice into thin strips.

Once steaks have been removed and set aside to rest cook your bacon in the same pan until crispy.

To assemble sandwich: On bottom layer onion relish, steak, Capsicum and mushroom mixture, Bacon, cheese and sauces of your choice. On top slice of bread smother with mayo, add lettuce and tomato. Sandwich together and enjoy!

Note: You can add anything you like to your sandwich to personalise it to your own tastes. Make each component ahead so when it comes time to plating you have everything prepared and you can pick what you like to put in it.
