I know, it’s a mouthful (heh) That is marinated sliced top sirloin topped with sauteed mushrooms and onions and served ona toasted ciabatta roll with a roasted red pepper and basil mayonnaise.
You want this sandwich, trust me. You will want to have this sandwich more than once, I have in fact had them twice in two days… it’s really a hard life being a food blogger 
This is probably in my Top 5 of my all time favorite sandwiches, ever. So, when The Motherhood contacted me about working with them on an “I Heart Beef” on behalf of The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association; I did two things.. I immediately said YES, because hello I’m a Texas Girl and I love beef and then I went to the store and bought all the ingredients for this sandwich
This post was sponsored but the recipe is all mine, the opinions, sentiment and enthusiasm are all mine and believe me when I tell you that want to hang around for this one, you want this recipe and you want to enter to win the awesome prize that I’ll tell you about at the end of the recipe.
Let’s Do This:
- 1 1/2 lbs trimmed top sirloin steak
- 4 ciabatta rolls (This made 3 sandwiches for us. But, these were LOADED sandwiches *ahem*)
- 1 yellow onion, medium, sliced
- 10 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 7 cloves of garlic, divided 4 and 3, sliced
- 3/4 C worcestershire
- 1/4 C Soy sauce
- 1 to 3 Tbsp Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce (I use 3 for the marinade and more later)
- 3 Tbsp Rachel’s Simple Seasoning* will share recipe below
- 1/4 C Mayonnaise
- 1 whole roasted red bell pepper, rough chopped (I use Fire Roasted in a Jar)
- 3 to 4 Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped
- Trim the steak and put in a large ziploc baggie, add in 4 chopped garlic cloves
- In a bowl or glass measuring cup mix the soy sauce, worcestershire, Seasoning and Hot Sauce
- Pour over steak and garlic in bag, seal and refrigerate for at LEAST 3 hours.
For The Mayonnaise:
- Mix chopped red pepper, basil and mayonnaise together along with another dash of hot sauce (y’all know how I am) and then cover and refrigerate.
After The Steak Has Marinated
- Slice the onions and mushrooms
- Place 1/2 stick of butter on a skillet and allow it to melt while the griddle/skillet heats up
- Place the sliced onions, 3 cloves of garlic and mushrooms in the butter on the griddle/skillet and sautee until caramelized and the smell of them makes you want to dive headfirst into them (resist this urge, it’s painful)
- While the onions are cooking, slice your steak into 1/4″ (width) strips
- Remove cooked onions and mushrooms and set aside in a covered dish
- Put your steak on the griddle/skillet and drizzle with a bit more hot sauce (optional) and some crushed red pepper flakes
- Cook the steak strips for 3 to 5 minutes
- Remove from heat and add to the covered dish with mushrooms, onions and garlic.
- Scrape the griddle a bit and then put your ciabatta roll halves onto the griddle to toast the inside and outside.
- Remove the toasted halves and slather with the insanely delicious Herb Mayonnaise that you made earlier
Do not be afraid of this mayonnaise, it is your friend. It adds a cool, creamy, fresh zing to this piping hot sandwich.
Now, load your sandwich with the meat, mushroom, onion, garlic mixture
Devour.
You’re Welcome.

My favorite way to serve beef is a good old cheeseburger! However, I like to get a little different with the toppings. My favorite way to eat a juicy burger is with sharp cheddar cheese, guacamole, sprouts and tomato. YUM!
This Ranch Beef Zucchini recipe is making me salivate! http://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/recipe.aspx?id=2402

This recipe sounds awesome!!! The Pomegranate Steak with Quinoa on the beef website sounds pretty good, too.
Sorry — pushed the publish button too quickly. One of my favorite ways to serve beef is to use the lean eye of round and make marinated London Broil — yum!
My favorite beef dish is Steak Pizzaiola, with this recipe as a base: http://www.recipezaar.com/Italian-Pizzaiola-Beefsteak-Pizza-Style-57839
We adjust the seasoning and such depending on what’s available, but its always so good! Plus, it only take a few minutes to throw together.
I can’t wait to try the Szechuan Beef from the website! http://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/recipe.aspx?id=1128
Our favorite way to serve beef is good old spicy meatballs! Just ground beef, crushed seasoned croutons for the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes. I make big batches to freeze and then pull out to use in spaghetti, mash up for baked ziti use for meatball subs, etc. They are so yummy and versatile!

Ooh, the beef, arugula, and spinach lasagna recipe looks great, and what an awesome way to sneak in some more veggies using the arugula!

My favortie way to serve beef in Grilled Marinated London Broil. I grill one or two every week during the summer. Serve it that day with baked potatoes finished on the gril, and corn on the cob. Sliced thin, it can easily serve a crowd, much easier than hamburgers (think block party). I then slice the leftovers, freeze them with wax paper between the layers in a ziploc bag. I am good to go for stir fry, steak sandwiches, paninis, etc. when I need beef.
If I had the funds, I’d serve filet mingon more often. A good steak is a rare treat. We’re more meatloaf, spaghetti with meat sauce people.

Favorite beef dish? Pot roast with slits cut in it, stuffed with 10-12 whole garlic cloves, roasted with potatoes, carrots, onions, rosemary & beefstock. Makes great dinner + leftover sandwiches!

I don’t have a favorite way to serve beef because (gasp!) I do not cook. It is apparent by my appearance, however, that I live with someone who does (and does it rather well). Your steak sandwich recipe/photo looks amazing. I can’t wait to show it to my cook, I mean husband.
Hopefully it will count if you allow me to state his fave way to serve beef: Alton Brown’s pan seared NY Strip: http://bit.ly/9fD70r. Fantastic!
My husband, Roger, also makes a mean carne guisada (and created his own recipe for it).

My favorite way to serve beef is a roast beef panini. I make it with balsamic glazed onions, roast beef, and blue cheese and then grill it. The cheese gets melty and it is absolutely delicious.
Am following BeefForDinner on twitter!
The recipe I found that I want to try, despite being wishy washy on grits (husband loooooooves them) is the Wild West Beef and Smoked Gouda Grits. Looks like something worth giving grits a second (or third) try for!
Grilled NY strip steak smothered with mushrooms and carmelized onions!

Thanks for hosting!

The featured recipe contains some of my most favorite food items, so I’m going to have to try it: “The sweet-tart taste of pomegranate, meaty richness of beef top loin and the creamy tang of goat cheese come together in an exquisite steak dinner. A perfect example of why it’s so easy to love beef.”

My favorite way to eat beef is in Beef Stroganoff — my mother’s version. It’s incredible and doesn’t have tomato sauce or mustard in it (odd additions in my opinion).
We love to grill steaks with Cavendar’s Salt Free Seasoning and to medium rare then saute mushrooms in butter to pour over them. Serve with steamed broccoli, and roasted sweet potatoes rolled in evoo and roasted …our absolute favorite!
i do eat the meats (after a 10 year hiatus) but i’m still not so practiced at making them. so…my favorite way to eat beef is the way my husband makes steaks (and i don’t even know which cut) on the grill, sometimes topped with a grilled tomato and gorgonzola. and yes, medium rare, as per the twitter conversation.

Filet mignon marinated for a day or two. Yummy.

My favorite was to prepare beef is simple-salt and pepper on a t-bone steak and grilled. Let it set for 5 minutes or so before cutting into it. Serve with sauteed mushrooms and onions. Delicious!
Southeast Asian Steak Salad makes my mouth water!
My Dad would make Steak Poivre but with hamburger. Cooked thick burgers ROLLED in crushed pepper in cream/cognac – oh it was HEAVEN.
