Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Dill Butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Steak Sandwich
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 pound steak of choice
- 1 tablespoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- 1 baguette
Instructions
- Make the Garlic Dill Butter
- In a small bowl, blend the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped dill until smooth and evenly combined. Set aside at room temperature so it spreads easily.
- Prepare the Steak
- Slice the steak into thin strips. Tip: Chilling the steak in the freezer for 10–15 minutes makes slicing cleaner and easier.
- Heat a skillet over high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the steak strips and season generously with salt. Cook quickly, stirring just until the beef develops a golden sear but stays tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Onions
- Slice the onion into thin half-moons. Using the same skillet, sauté the onions over medium heat until soft, golden, and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Sandwich
- Slice the baguette lengthwise. Spread the garlic dill butter generously on both cut sides. Layer the cooked steak evenly across the bread, followed by the caramelized onions. Top with slices of Havarti cheese.
- Melt and Serve
- Place the open-faced sandwich under the broiler for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately while hot, cheesy, and irresistible.
