Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for herb butter)
1 tbsp fresh dill, diced (for herb butter)
3 garlic cloves, crushed (for herb butter)
1 tbsp oil (for cooking steak)
1 lb steak (your choice of cut)
1 tbsp salt, adjust to taste (for steak)
1 large yellow onion
4 slices Havarti cheese
1 baguette
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with crushed garlic and diced dill. Mix until everything is well incorporated, and set aside to prepare the herb butter.
- Slice the steak into thin strips. (Tip: To make slicing easier, freeze the steak for a few minutes before slicing.)
- Preheat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add the sliced steak and season generously with salt. Cook until the steak is just golden, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Slice the onion into half rings. In the same skillet, sauté the onions until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice the baguette lengthwise, and spread the herb butter on both sides.
- Layer the steak strips, caramelized onions, and Havarti cheese on the baguette.
- Keep the sandwich open and broil for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve immediately, while it’s still warm.
Notes
If you prefer a different cheese, you can swap the Havarti with provolone, Swiss, or cheddar for a different flavor.
Add fresh arugula or spinach for a peppery crunch to balance the richness of the steak and cheese.
If you like heat, consider adding some jalapeños or a spicy sauce to the sandwich.
