A good steak sandwich is an Aussie icon. It makes for a satisfying, and relatively healthy, fast food meal on long road trips. It can also be upscaled for a delicious casual dinner; I use Beerenberg Tomato Chutney and Brasserie Bread rustic loaf. As with its near-cousin the great Aussie hamburger, good caramelised onions are the difference between exceptional and average results; you can’t rush them, it’s worth taking the time to reduce them down to a dark, sweet, sticky mass (see video below). A dark beer, like the creamy Black Bevy Session Stout from Jervis Bay Brewing goes down a treat with these steak sandwiches.

Serves 2

Ingredients
  • 200g flank steak
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices soft white bread
  • ¼ cup tomato chutney
  • 2 tablespoons whole egg mayonnaise
  • Caramelised Onion, for serving (see video below)
  • Handful rocket leaves
Method
  1. Heat a char-grill or heavy-based frying pan over high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, cut steak into 4 thin strips across the grain and gently beat them with a meat mallet until about 5mm thick (you can ask the butcher to do this for you when you buy it).
  3. Brush both sides with oil, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook for about a minute on one side, until well coloured, then turn and cook for a further 30 seconds; remove to a warm plate.
  5. Toast the bread.
  6. Spread 2 slices with tomato chutney and 2 with mayonnaise.
  7. Top the tomato chutney slices with steak, then Caramelised Onion, then rocket.
  8. Sprinkle with salt and top with the mayonnaise slices.
  9. Dig in!

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
