Stacked Steak Sandwiches with Grilled Red Peppers and Goat Cheese Spread Ingredients 6 Steaks 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 3 Red Peppers 6 Garlic Heads 3 Sourdough Baguettes, cut into thirds 1 Goat Cheese Log 1 tsp Crushed Pepper Fresh Thyme, chopped Indoor Preparation Marinate steaks in pepper and 1/3 cup of the olive oil for 1/2 hour before grilling. While steaks are marinating, prepare the grilled garlic:
Slice off the top one-third of each of the six garlic heads. Lightly coat the exposed area with remaining 2 tbsp of the olive oil and sprinkle with thyme and pepper. Wrap each head separately in tin-foil and leave on the top rack of the grill for 20 minutes. This way, your grill is free for the grilling of the steaks and peppers.
You can also prepare the goat cheese spread: Make sure the goat cheese is at room temperature. Fold in the small bunch of chopped fresh thyme and pepper. Do not add salt, as goat cheese is salty. Let spread sit at room temperature until you start to stack your sandwiches.
The peppers should be halved and lightly brushed with oil. | Outdoor Preparation Place both the steaks and peppers (skin side down) on the grill. Let the pepper skin "blister" or char. This will take about 10 minutes.
While steaks are still grilling, remove the peppers and scrape off the skin. (It comes off easily if you scrape it with a butter knife) A medium steak will take about 12 minutes to grill (6 minutes each side). Remove steaks from the grill, and slice on the bias--this makes it easier to bite into the sandwich. Slice baguettes and lightly grill for one minute, cut side down.
To Assemble: Remove the baguette from the grill. Spread on a thin layer of goat cheese spread. Remove the grilled garlic, unwrap and squeeze the cloves onto the baguette (1/2 garlic head per sandwich). Spread with a knife--the garlic should have the consistency of hard butter. Lay steak onto sandwich. Finally, top with the roasted red peppers and the other half of the baguette. | 6 cocoduchessbirds7 This webset page was assembled on Sunday June 15, 2008 by BuzyS. with graphics from Hemera using one of the many auto-scripters available at Chat_Central_Gateway All rights reserved KENDOC 2005 |
