Yeah I'm back and relaxed and in new digs. Mmmm roomy. Here's a steak sandwich I made for rock power before going to an exceptional Queens of the Stone Age gig at Perth Metro/Mad Max Thunderdome (true Chook true). It gave me strength to assist boisterous youth at the edge of the mosh pit and not worry when they sang into my ear. One grateful lad in a blue t-shirt gave me a hug and then wouldn't let go. Bless.
I have to face up to the fact that most steak sandwiches are not the ones of my dreams ( Saffy also dreams ) but are overdone bits of minute steak in a skinny bit of whitebread. This one is good. A large bit of rump steak tenderised. Don't use a tenderiser, use your fist, trust me it's good , you'll feel better. Sliced up into meaty fingers and marinated in oil, soy, chinese wine, chilli powder, garlic, something called BBQ bush blend (lemon myrtle, bush tomato, and mountain pepperleaf), and potato starch for chinese velvetiness. Onions caramelised with a pinch of brown sugar and a splash of Monteith's Ale when softened. Lengthy piece of foccacia carefully sliced along the middle. Bits of blue cheese along the bottom. Rare bits of steak on top of that with the onions and pour some of the pan juices ove the top. Place some spinach leaves on top. Then the top bit of bread and into the sandwich press until the cheese is melty.
Good.
