Steak Sandwiches

We've had the good fortune of being friends with Wender who is in the meat distributing industry.  Not only is she kind and thoughtful, but she offers great cuts of meat for a good price!  We had a couple of her steaks in the freezer, so I thought I should use them up.  I like steak but don't particularly like eating it in a big chunk (preferring it to be cut up in a stir-fry or paired with other things).  So I decided we would have steak sandwiches! 

It also just so happened that a friend of mine sent me a link to an awesome food website with phenomenal pictures and recipes : http://www.tastespotting.com/  Thanks Cherry!
From there I grabbed my steak sandwich recipe (http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2009/02/rib-eye-steak-sandwiches-recipe.html) and got to work.


Simple, simple, simple: some ciabatta bread, prepared caper cream sauce, arugula leaves, and grilled rib-eye.  


Edwin liked the steaks so much, he ate a sandwich and another steak on the side. :)  In his defense, the steak in his sandwich was thin.

I also made a salad on the side, always wanting to make one of those cabbage or lettuce salads with bits of ramen noodles thrown in.  It reminds me of a salad at a potluck in a teacher's lounge.  It was very tasty and very unhealthy!  I feel like I've been cooking a lot more with butter lately...maybe we oughta cut back on that...Anyway here's the recipe if you want to try it: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Napa-Cabbage-Salad/Detail.aspx.
