I mean sandwich steaks are good. But they can be great with a little creativity. Am I right or am I right?
After a little poking around cookbooks and the interwebs, I decided that using some Asiago cheese, tomatoes and some yummy crunchy homemade fried onion straws I could make a beautiful sandwich. Stacked Steak Asiago Sandwiches, to be exact.
Top the sandwich with barbecue sauce – my favorite – and it's a winner for sure.
Normally, I would have grilled the sandwich steaks for that yummy flavor, but since it's raining like the dickens here I had to make do with pan-frying. They were great nonetheless.
These sandwiches are excellent served with sweet potato fries.
