All the family was home yesterday for dinner. It was a pretty exciting day. We have a house divided in the area of college football. Some of kids were at the OSU game and some were at the OU game. It makes for lively dinner conversation. Then as we are eating dinner, we see one of our neighbors in his four wheeler running our next door neighbor's Longhorn bull up the road.
My husband and I ran outside to see what we could do. Our neighbor cornered him in our back pasture and I thought we were going to have a bull fight on our hands. The bull was hitting the dirt with his front hoofs they way they do in the bull fights. It was pretty funny. He was mad! This bull belonged to our neighbor on the north and the bull was trying to get to our neighbor's heifers on the south.
Well the roundup :) ended safe and sound and the bull got back in the right pasture. So much for life on a Sunday afternoon in the country!
Ok, back to food. This steak sandwich is really awesome you've got to make it.....you will love it. I was watching the Sandwich King on Food Network and he made this sandwich and my taste buds were having an attack. I knew I had to try it for sure. I made homemade onion rings to go with it. It was a great combo and my family all loved the sandwiches.
3 boneless rib eyes or strip steak would work
12 0z and 5 oz container of spinach (I used this much for my family of 6)
10 peeled garlic cloves, sliced thinly
baguette bread
crushed red pepper flakes
olive oil
Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup mayo
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 heaping Tablespoon fresh dill chopped
Cracked pepper to taste
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
Use a large skillet and put in about 1/4 cup of olive oil and cook garlic until it starts to turn golden then remove and place on paper towel. Use the garlic oil to saute spinach and add one teapsoon of red pepper flakes or more if your family likes it spicy. Your spinach will be overflowing the skillet but it will cook down and you will wonder if you have enough. Keep turning spinach with tongs until it is wilted down.
I have just started cooking steaks this way and they are really great. I have watched this on the Food Network Channel and all the cooks do this. If you buy a good grade and cut of meat you really don't need a lot of seasoning and if you cook it correctly the taste is excellent. Salt and Pepper your steak. I have very large cast iron skillets but you can use any skillet just make sure you can put it in the oven. Salt and pepper one side of the steaks. Make sure your skillet is very, very hot and lay the steak in the skillet and sear both sides of the steak. When you lay the salted side down make sure you salt the other side. After you sear the second side then put it in a 420 degree oven for about 10 to 15 minutes depended on how you like it cooked. Take it out of the oven and cover it with foil for about 10 minutes. Don't cut into it until after it has set for 10 minutes.
After the steak has set for 10 minutes, put the steak on a cutting board and slice it thinly. Take your baguette bread cut it in half (horizontally) then cut in half vertically. Butter both sides of bread and grilled it or put it in the oven until slightly golden. Take bread and put slices of steak on bun then sauteed spinach then put garlic chips on top of spinach then top with several spoonfuls of the buttermilk blue dressing.
YUMOOOOOO!
If you have friends over on Saturdays to watch the game, this would be a great sandwich to serve.
