Steak and Onion Sandwich - My Gorgeous Recipes (2024)

Steak and Onion Sandwich made with crusty baguettes, melt-in-your-mouth steak strips, caramelised onion and red peppers on a bed or rocket salad (arugula) and dairylea cheese slices, a fantastic recipe for a hearty lunch. It's quick and very easy to make, and it makes for a nice bite on Game Day, picnics or any other occasion.

With Super Bowl just round the corner, recipes for game day food are well sought after. I have a list of recipes that are some of my favourite bites: Super Bowl Recipes, and that could do really well on the big day.

But then, sandwiches are a quick, easy and a rather delicious meal on their own that can be enjoyed on the go too, or when time is short and a sitting-down meal is not on option.

And if you like steak, you will definitely enjoy these steak baguettes. Cooking them takes only a couple of minutes, unless you have leftover roast beef like in my Leftover Beef Sandwich, in which case the job is even easier.

I know everyone knows how to make a sandwich, so a recipe for it can sound like pretty unnecessary, but I always love looking for new sandwich recipe ideas, and this one had to be shared with you.

Ingredients used

• steak - cut into strips for a quick and easy cooking, I used 3 fillets and they were more than enough for 2 large portions
• baguettes - they can be replaced with any other sandwich bread, sliders, baps and so on
• onion - I used regular yellow onion, but shallots can work too
• garlic - use as much or as little as you like
• red pepper - it adds a nice colour and natural sweetness to the filling
• oil - for frying the steak
• salt and pepper - to taste
• rocket salad - or arugula salad
• cheese slices - I used dairylea cheese, but anything else goes

Variations

This recipe can be easily transformed into a delicious beef or steak fajitas by using fajita seasoning. You can either still enjoy it as a fajita sandwich, or you can swap the bread for tortilla wraps.

Step-by-step photos and instructions

• heat up the oil in a frying pan
• add the steak strips and cook on each side for around 2 minutes depending on their thickness
• add the peeled and chopped onion cut julienne and fry it on a low to medium heat until golden
• add the peeled and chopped garlic and red peppers cut julienne, and stir fry them on a medium high heat for 1-2 minutes
• cut the baguettes in half lengthwise, add the cheese slices, top with salad, then the steak mixture
• serve immediately

Expert tips

The steak doesn't take long to cook - if you like it medium rare, it doesn't need to cook for longer than maximum 2 minutes. But even if you like it well cooked, it shouldn't take longer than 4 minutes, otherwise the meat is pretty tough.

Work in batches if necessary - if you crowd the pan with the steak strips, they won't brown nicely anymore - they cook quickly anyway.
