Here’s a way to enjoy an old-fashioned steak sandwich. Use a little bit of steak from the lean and tender fillet and top it with sautéed onions and mushrooms.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 slice (6 ounces) filet mignon, well trimmed

Method

  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Place the steak in the pan and lower the heat to medium. Sauté the steak until well browned, 6 to 9 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain a steady sizzle. Turn the steak and brown the second side, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the steak
