Baguette Steak Sandwich with Sweet Onions and Blue Cheese Mayo
A father’s day lunch extraordinaire.

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: N/A
Makes: 4 servings

1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
Splashes of Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4, 6 oz. New York (Strip Loin) steaks
4, 6-inch long pieces of baguette, cut in half lengthwise
4 lettuce leaves




Method
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Combine the mayonnaise and cheese in a bowl; season with Worcestershire, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Keep in the fridge until steaks are ready. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender. While this occurs, season the steaks with salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness. Warm the baguette pieces on the grill a few seconds. Spread bottom pieces with blue cheese mayo and top with lettuce. Set on the steaks and then the onions. Set on the top pieces of bread and serve.


What to serve alongside
Pair the steak sandwich with a lush green salad or go diner –style and serve it with the coleslaw available in our deli and crispy potatoes wedges, such as one these tasty ones found in our website recipe collection: Lemon, Rosemary & Mustard Roasted Red Potato Wedges.


Options
Use another tender beef steak in the sandwich, such as rib-eye or top sirloin. Use one of our flavoured baguettes to make the sandwich instead of plain. Use red or white onions when sweet onions are not available or if you prefer their less sweet taste. Make the sandwich a little more high class by using a premium blue cheese to make the mayonnaise, such as Stilton or Gorgonzola.
