Instructions:
-
Prepare Marinade: In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine the dark rum, brown sugar, fresh coarse ground black pepper, salt, and minced garlic.
-
Marinate Steak: Trim any excess fat from the steak and add it to the bag with the marinade. Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
-
Prep Flavored Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, mix together the fat-free mayonnaise and horseradish. Set aside for later use.
-
Prepare Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Grill Onions: Place the steak and red onion slices on the grill rack. Grill the onions for 4 minutes on each side, basting them with the reserved marinade.
-
Grill Steak: Once the onions are done, remove them from the grill. Turn the steak and continue grilling for an additional 8 minutes or until it reaches your desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest.
-
Toast Bread: While the steak is resting, place the bread slices on the grill rack and toast them for 2 minutes on each side or until they are lightly golden and crispy.
-
Slice Steak: After allowing the steak to rest for a few minutes, cut it diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
-
Assemble Sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of the flavored mayonnaise onto one side of each of the 8 toasted bread slices. Divide the sliced steak, grilled onion slices, romaine lettuce leaves, and tomato slices evenly among the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
-
Serve: Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the flavorful combination of tender steak, grilled onions, and zesty mayonnaise nestled between slices of toasted bread. These Rum-Pepper Steak Sandwiches are perfect for lunch, snacks, or any outdoor gathering where delicious food is on the menu.
Notes:
- For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice to the marinade.
- You can customize these sandwiches by adding your favorite toppings, such as avocado slices or crispy bacon.
- If you don’t have access to a grill, you can also cook the steak and onions on a stovetop grill pan or in a broiler.
So, fire up the grill and get ready to impress your guests with these mouthwatering Rum-Pepper Steak Sandwiches that are packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion!
