DSC_0141

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)
