This dish might not rank extremely high on the health scale but still, I think it was a pretty healthy alternative to a classic sandwich.
You see, the weather has finally been summer like this week-end, so we sort of kicked off summer by firing up the BBQ.
While I don’t eat much beef anymore, there is one thing that I will always enjoy and indulge in once in a while, and that is a nice, big, juicy ribsteak cooked on the BBQ. It’s always been and always will be one of my guilty pleasures. Seeing that I like my steaks cooked Pittsburgh style (charred on the outside while still raw on the inside), I always have to have the butcher custom cut me a couple of really thick steaks, which, of course, always end up weighing well over a pound.
There was a time when I was able to eat the whole thing, with a side of potato and salad. No more! There is no way I could go through that entire piece of meat, so I always end up with quite a decent chunk of leftover steak to use in such a sandwich.
Not a bad way to use leftover steak, if you ask me! Although it does lack a bit in the veggie department, I admit…
This one was pretty easy to make.
Ingredients for one sandwich
- 175g leftover steak
- 4 mushrooms, sliced and cooked
- 20g goat cheese, crumbled
- 20g blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 whole grain sandwich loaf
Instructions
- Coat skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. Cook mushrooms until nice and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Cut loaf in half lenthtwise and toast lightly in toaster.
- Cut the leftover steak in very thin slices.
- When bread is ready, spread mustard on bottom half.
- Mound steak, top with mushrooms and goat cheese and blue cheese crumbles.
- Put in the oven on broil (do not top sandwich just yet, keep top piece on the side) for about 5 minutes, just to soften cheese and heat meat slightly.
- Take out of the oven and put top slice in place.

I’m from outside of Philly and I approve! This may not be the “traditional” sandwich, but it looks pretty damn good.

Huh? This showed up in my Google Reader as being posted today at 7:54AM EST.
And I’m so happy that it did because I love Philly cheese steak sandwiches! I saw it in Google Reader but didn’t load it completely because I was about to get on the train. But I got to the “finally summer like weather” part and was really confused. Then when I went directly to your page when I came home, I was disappointed because I didn’t see this post. Then I thought it must have been some other page with a similar name but it was you! YAY!
I think you’re way too hard on yourself with the healthiness ranking of this sandwich. Steak? Iron, which I find it hard to get elsewhere. Cheese? Calcium. And okay, fat, but we all need fat. Mushrooms? Whole grain roll? This sandwich is healthy perfection.
I don’t actually eat any of the ingredients in your recipe other than steak and roll so mine’s not so healthy. I load mine with Provolone. 🙂 And homemade tomato sauce made without sugar. Lycopene! Yeah! My sandwich fights cancer! That sounds so cool. I have to make one soon.

Must be because I corrected a typo this morning at around that time! Only thing I could think of. Glad it led you to it though. And now that I saw it too, I’m craving a steak sandwich. I still have a long time to wait until summer is back. Bummer! I might have to take my cast iron pan out and have the fire alarm go off (that NEVER fails to happen when I cook steak indoors!)
You might be right, I’m a little hard on myself when it comes to what I consider healthy and not. Rib steaks definitely aren’t the healthiest cut of beef out there. But still, they aren’t the worst. Much better than ground beef, let me tell you! 😉 And this sandwich is a much better option than most.
Oh, I haven’t had a good sandwich in so long. I feel one coming soon!

I’m no good at beef cuts so I googled rib steak and it does indeed look fatty. Oh well. It still sounds healthy enough. 🙂
