Steak Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Rub the NY strip steak with chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

  3. 3

    Make the Onion-Garlic Sofrito

    In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    Add the wild mushrooms to the onion-garlic mixture and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Balsamic Cabernet Jus

    In a separate saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and cabernet wine. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Make the Horseradish Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together horseradish and mayonnaise. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Layer sliced steak, truffle cheddar, onion-garlic sofrito, and sautéed mushrooms on one slice of panini bread. Spread horseradish aioli on the other slice and close the sandwich.

  8. 8

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Slice the sandwich in half and drizzle with balsamic cabernet jus before serving.
