- 1 Beef fillet
- 1/2 Onion
- Cheddar cheese sauce (You can prepare it homemade, see below how to make it)
- Olive Oil
Homemade Cheddar cheese sauce
- 3 Cups Cheddar
- 1/2 Cup cream cheese spread
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1 Tsp Butter
- 1 Tbsp Flour
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
For the homemade cheese sauce
- You can buy the cheese sauce or make it yourself at home. I recommend the latter, as it is not a lot of work, and once you get the hang of it, you will start making it for any dish, as it is delicious!If you decide to make the homemade cheese sauce, put the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the flour and lower the heat to the minimum, stirring well with a whisk, so that there are no lumps.1 Tsp Butter, 1 Tbsp Flour, 1/2 Cup cream cheese spread
- Before the flour is very brown, add the milk and the grated cheddar cheese (you can do it with sliced cheddar, adding it to the milk in small pieces, although it will not give the same flavor).1/2 Cup Milk, 3 Cups Cheddar
- When the cheddar has melted into the milk, add the cheese spread, keep stirring, and salt and pepper to taste.Salt, Pepper
For the Sandwich
- Open the hot dog bun. ReserveCut the onion into thin slices, and the steak in the same way, in not very thick strips.2 Rustic hot dog buns, 1/2 Onion, 1 Beef fillet
- In a frying pan, with a drizzle of oil, place the onion over medium heat. You can add a little sweet wine if you want it to be sweeter, semi-caramelized. Or if not, when it is a little browned, you can add half a glass of beer, it will give it a very rich touch. Leave it over medium heat until the beer evaporates and set aside.1/2 Onion, Olive Oil
- In the same pan, we make the veal fillet cut into thin strips. Cook well until we see that it is done. We put it in the hot dog bun.
- Add the cheddar cheese sauce on the meat.After the cheddar, we add some caramelized onion, and we have our sandwich ready!Cheddar cheese sauce
