Author Notes
I have made this with leftover steak - it's very simple, but deceptively good. The bread should good quality (not supermarket sliced) but softer than crusty baguette halves - with bits of cold steak crusty bread can make the whole thing a bit too tough. I didn't think to photograph it when I made it but it's a pretty sandwich, too! —LucyS
Ingredients
-
2
slices good-quality bread, such as a boule, toasted (see note)
-
1
garlic clove, peeled and cut in half
-
horseradish sauce
-
mayonnaise
-
arugula, mizuna, or similar greens, or a mixture (preferably not entirely lettuce)
-
enough thinly sliced steak to cover one piece of bread
Directions
-
Rub the warm, toasted bread with half a garlic clove. Angle the garlic clove slightly so you're using the edge of it, which will make the bread especially garlicy.
-
Depending on the strength of your horseradish sauce, coast one or both pieces of toast with a very thin layer.
-
Coat both pieces of toast with mayonnaise. It will combine with the horseradish and garlic nicely, so don't worry if it seems like there's a lot of stuff on there.
-
Layer the sliced steak on the horseradish side of the bread. Pile greens on top of it. If the steak is a bit tough, be sure to slice it as thin as you can.
-
Squash the two sandwich halves together. This sandwich travels very well but if you're going to take it as a bagged lunch, make sure to bind it tightly (I usually use a ziplock that I squash all the air out of) so it doesn't fall apart.
