Steak Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 (12-ounce) 1-inch thick New York strip boneless beef top loin steak
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
2 yellow onions, sliced in rings
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 recipe Mustard Mayo, recipe follows
2 mini focaccia buns, sliced in 1/2
1/2 cup baby arugula
Directions:
Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steak on each side for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook the steak for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Slice the steak into strips.
Using the same saute pan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme and saute for 10 minutes, until the onions are brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of Mustard Mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a layer the steak strips on top of the mayo, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the caramelized onion rings. Place the baby arugula on top of the onion rings, and cover the sandwiches with the top half of the buns.
Mustard Mayo:
3/4 cup good mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl. Serve at room temperature.

Ingredients:
1 skinless and boneless chicken breast
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 red onion
(I also like to use mushrooms)
Marinade:
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 - 1 tsp. paprika (if you like spicy, use 1 teaspoon)
1/2 tsp. chili flakes
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 of one small onion
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or dried parsley
For Grilling:
2 tbsp. olive oil for brushing
Method:
Cut chicken into small cubes (a total of 16 pieces), pat dry and marinate with the ingredients for 1 hour.
Thread 4 pieces of chicken meat with two pieces each of green and yellow bell pepper and onion onto a metal or bamboo skewer. Repeat.
While grilling, brush the kebabs with olive oil.
Note:
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water overnight so they don't get burned during the grilling process. [Full Story »]
