Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steaks

    Sprinkle both the tenderloin and ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steaks

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Shiitake Mayo Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Shiitake Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add shiitake mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Make the Mayo

    In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed shiitake mushrooms, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and toast lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of shiitake mayo on both halves of the bread. Layer with sliced steak, fontina cheese, and arugula or mixed greens.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Close the sandwich, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
