The Leftover Legend
Leftover steak, homemade focaccia, basil may, smoked gouda, fresh tomato, and cilantro-lime dressing. The Need I say more? No.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices focaccia bread
- 2 Tablespoons or more basil mayo (measure with your heart)
- 6-8 slices of steak
- 2 slices fresh tomato
- 2 slices smoked gouda
- 1-2 Tablespoons cilantro lime dressing
- kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil.
- Sprinkle tomatoes with kosher salt and set aside.
- Slice the leftover T-bone thin, against the grain.
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add steak and sear 30-60 seconds – you are warming it, not cooking it.
- Remove from heat immediately.
- Spread basil mayo generously on both sides of focaccia.
- Layer steak on one slice of focaccia.
- Tope the steak with 3 slices smoked gouda.
- Using a spatula, slide the break with the steak and cheese onto a pan and broil just until cheese begins to melt.
- Remove from oven and add the fresh tomato.
- Top the tomato with a heft drizzle of cilantro lime dressing.
- Top with remaining slice of focaccia.
- Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- I used leftover T-bone, but ribeye, skirt, strip all work.
