Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tenderloin steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Baguette

    While the steak is resting, slice the French baguette in half lengthwise. Rub the cut sides with garlic cloves and spread the butter evenly on both sides.

  4. 4

    Toast the Baguette

    Toast the baguette halves on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the rested steak into thin pieces. Layer arugula, sliced tomato, and steak on the toasted baguette. Drizzle horseradish sauce and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
