Filet of Beef Sandwiches
A terrific recipe for my Filet of Beef recipe. You can entertain guests with a beautiful Roasted Filet of Beef one evening and have leftovers for sandwiches for the rest of the week or a future Football Game. :-)
Filet of Beef Sandwiches
Dressing:
1/4 lb blue d'Auvergne or other creamy blue cheese
2/3 cp sour cream
1/3 cp mayonnaise
1.5 tsps Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
To Assemble:
1 loaf health or 7-grain bread
1.25 lbs rare filet of beef, thinly sliced
1 bunch arugula
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbls unsalted butter at room temperature (optional)
For the dressing, mash the blue cheese with a fork and blend with the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
To make the sandwiches, cut the bread into 12 slices, each slice 1/4 inch thick. Depending upon your taste, you may want to toast the bread. Spread 6 of the slices thickly with the Blue Cheese Dressing or Mustard Horseradish Sauce. Top with slices of beef and arugula and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the rest of the slices of bread very lightly with butter (optional) and place, butter-side down, on top of the beef. Filet of Beef recipe below.
