Steak Sandwich

This is the best sandwich ever! I got this recipe from Ree Drummond's book, "The pioneer Woman Cooks". www.ThePioneerWoman.com

Ingredients:

1 large onion or 2 small/medium onions

Butter, lots of it

2 or 3 pounds cube steak

Seasoned salt, preferably Lawry's

Lemon Pepper

Black Pepper

Worcestershire sauce

Tabasco (I didn't use this)

4 French or Deli rolls

Start by slicing the onion. Next melt 1/4 stick of butter in skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and light brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove the onion from the pan and set aside.



Cut each piece of cube steak against the grain, into 1-inch strips. Now season the meat with a nice sprinkle or seasoned salt, lemon pepper, and black pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet in which you cooked the onion. Turn the heat to high. Let the butter begin to turn brown, about 2 minutes. You will want the skillet to be hot.

Now add enough meat to the hot skillet to form a single layer. Do not stir. Let sit for about a minute, or long enough for one side to turn brown. Then, using a spatula, flip the meat over. Cook for another minute, then remove from skillet. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.



Return all the meat to the skillet and add the cooked onion. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, several dashes of Tabasco (according to taste), and an additional 2 tablespoons of butter. Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes to warm.

Cut each roll in half, spread with butter and brown on a griddle or skillet.



Place the meat mixture in the bun and spoon some of the sauce from the pan on top until it seeps into the bun.



Variations:

Add Mushrooms to the onion mixture

Melt mozzarella on top

Add other veggies and fresh seasonings like garlic, thyme and so on...
