Super-Grilled Steak Sandwich with Horseradish–Dijon Cream and Spicy Greens

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds flank steak
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce (eyeball it)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
4 plum tomatoes, sliced into thirds lengthwise
1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick disks
1 baguette
1 cup whole or reduced-fat sour cream (eyeball it)
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (a generous handful), chopped
1 bunch of arugula or watercress, cleaned and trimmed (a couple of cups)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill on high.

    Step 2

    Season the steak with 2 tablespoons of the Worcestershire, the garlic, salt, and pepper, drizzle with some EVOO, and marinate for 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Drizzle the tomatoes and red onion slices with a little EVOO, the remaining 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire, and some salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until well marked on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and reserve.

    Step 4

    Grill the flank steak for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove the steak from the grill to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.

    Step 5

    Split the baguette lengthwise without cutting it all the way through, then cut into 4 equal sub-style rolls. Drizzle EVOO over the inside and season with salt and pepper. Place the open-faced cut rolls on the grill, oiled insides exposed. Place a heavy pan atop the bread to keep it flat on the grill. Grill until well marked, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Step 6

    In a bowl, combine the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, and parsley and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 7

    Thinly slice the flank steak on an angle, cutting the meat against the grain.

    Step 8

    To assemble the sandwiches, slather the inside of the grilled bread with the horseradish–Dijon cream. Divide the sliced steak, grilled red onions, and tomatoes among the 4 grilled baguette rolls. Pile some arugula or watercress on each sandwich and serve.

  2. Tidbit

    Step 9

    When measuring out Worcestershire sauce, pop that jigger-safety-trigger, annoying plastic thing-a-ma-bob off the top of the bottle before you pour, or you will shake your arm off trying to come up with 1/4 cup!
