Main Ingredients

Horseradish Mayo

Method

Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beefsteak

    Season the beefsteak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beefsteak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet or on the grill, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  3. 3

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Slice the mushrooms and grill them on the same skillet until they are golden brown and tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Onions

    Chop the onion finely and grill it in the skillet until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Texas Toast

    Toast the Texas toast slices on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Horseradish Mayo Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Horseradish Mayo

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble The Big Balandran

    On one slice of Texas toast, spread a generous layer of horseradish mayo. Layer the sliced beefsteak, followed by bacon, grilled mushrooms, and grilled onions. Top with Swiss American cheese. Spread more horseradish mayo on the other slice of Texas toast and place it on top to complete the sandwich.
