Best Steak Sandwiches With Tomato Pesto Recipes

ULTIMATE STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Prepare the rosemary steak according to recipe instructions (see link in recipe card above or notes below). While the steak is resting, prep the remainder of the sandwich ingredients. Alternatively, enjoy the steak for dinner and use the cold leftovers for these sandwiches.
• Position a rack at the top of the oven, just under the broiler element. Set the oven to high broil. Place the bottoms of four buns on a baking sheet and top with a slice of cheese. Broil 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Top the melted cheese with a handful of arugula (about half an ounce).
• Spread a tablespoon of pesto sauce on the top of each bun.
• Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4" slices. Pile 4-5 slices of steak onto the arugula, then top with the pesto-coated bun. Enjoy!

TRE COLORE PESTO AND GRILLED STEAK WITH QUICK ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (or the highest setting).
• Bring the steaks to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, remove 1 garlic clove from the bulb and finely grate. Remove the other cloves with the skin still intact and spread them on a baking sheet along with the tomatoes. Toss with about 1/4 cup EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Turn the tomatoes cut-side down. Roast until the tomatoes are charred and softened, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat, then remove to a plate to cool.
• Combine the parsley, basil, endive, radicchio, thyme, pine nuts, lemon juice and cheese in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup EVOO in a slow stream until blended. Transfer the pesto to a serving dish. (Any leftover pesto is delicious on sandwiches or tossed with hot pasta and starchy cooking water.)
• Heat a grill pan or heavy griddle over medium-high heat or prepare an outdoor grill.
• Drizzle the steaks with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook 3 more minutes for medium-rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place the steaks on serving plates and drizzle with the pesto. Serve the roasted tomatoes, garlic and bread on the side. To eat, squeeze the garlic from the skins and rub onto the bread, then top with the tomatoes.
