Not so much Rachael/but more Rita's Steak Sandwich Supper Recipe...

We have been cooking our way through a couple of Rachael Ray's summer 2008 magazines this week, but yesterday, instead of making her "Steakhouse Salad" was inspired to only use her salad dressing recipe, well, sort of and I made a steak sandwich instead of the salad. So here is what I did with her inspirational recipe...

Ingredients for the sandwich:
6 kaiser rolls, cut in half
6 boneless strip steaks cut 1 1/2 inches thick
1 cup of red wine
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped finely
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper
fresh spinach
1/4 cup of feta, crumbled
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons red wine (I used the marinate from the steaks, see instructions)

Instructions for the sandwiches:
1. Place the steaks on a wood cutting board and beat them with a meat hammer to tenderize. Then place them in a large ziplock bag. Add the red wine, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
2. In a salad dressing bottle or a bowl, mix the feta, buttermilk, mayonnaise and red wine together well and place in the refrigerator to chill. It will be ready for the spinach/strawberry salad later and you can add some to the sandwich too...umy!!
3. After the steaks have marinated, take them from the ziplock bag and lay them on paper towels but don't press them dry. Then grill them for 3 minutes on each side.
4. For the sandwiches, layer the steak, spinach leaves and dressing on the rolls.

For the spinach and strawberry salad, all you need is fresh spinach leaves and thinly sliced strawberries tossed with the buttermilk feta dressing. It is delicious even the next day. Add a potato salad and you have a wonderful meal...We call this a double salad wham home run supper, usually served with polish sausage hot dogs but...steak sandwiches are just as good! =)

Enjoy....Love, Blessings & {{{Hugs}}},
