turned into today’s afternoon steak sandwich by simply…
thinly slicing the steak straight from the fridge
warming up 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes in a bowl wisking in 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and a teaspoon or more of horseradish (double up if your making more than one sandwich)
warm up the broccoli and slice
lightly toast slices of rustic french country bread
generously spread the potato mayo on both sides and assemble (I would’ve added some mushroom sauce but we finished it off last night)
I add a little more of the potato mayo to every bite because I don’t want to waste any of it 🙂

I did…I call it my Christmas dinner (flank steak n frites) sandwich. I’ve been dreaming thinking n fantasizing about making this sandwich all year long…make sure to have a cozy glass of pinot noir or merlot n a ticket to cloud 9 because that’s where ur going after a bite into this luxurious sandwich.

flank steak seasoned w salt n pepper little olive oil grilled about medium rare sliced thin
skinny frites (potato fries) fry skinny cut potato in canola or peanut oil till golden brown remove n sprinkle w light salt n a drizzle of garlic olive oil (because the frying oil wasn’t enough)
caramelize sliced onions n mushrooms in some olive oil sprinkle salt n pepper n drizzle w balsamic vinegar
fresh arugula n spinach tossed in olive oil lemon juice salt n pepper
ciabatta bread lightly toasted or french baguette
creamy horseradish mayo (combine lots of horseradish w ur favorite mayo) generous spread on both sides of bread

assemble any which way u want and ENJOY the delicious layers of flavor n texture…ur mouth will love u for it! Happy New Year…n yes I haven’t forgotten about the falafel balls (I’m a little sidetracked w holiday stuff n steaks n frites n wine)
