Cube Steak Sandwiches

Sandwiches are another favorite thing for me to make. Much like a burger or taco – you can do so many different things with a sandwich. I mean right off the top – it can be hot or cold! But you can also do so many different things with the combination of sauces, meats, veggies, cheese and breads – with the omission of any one of those. This recipe for Cube Steak Sandwiches is a delightful combination of the sweet onions and bell peppers, the spicy bite of the horseradish mayo and the hearty flavors of a good cube steak.

So why cube steak? Well there’s a few reasons – one, I personally really like the cute of cube steak. It’s flavorful, and when you cook it right, tender and easy to eat in a sandwich. It’s pretty easy to find – most grocers stock it regularly. And of course there is the lower cost factor – it’s a great way to get a steak dinner without the high ticket shock.

Smoked gouda is a very distinct flavor and adds a lot to the overall flavor of this sandwich. Paired with the spicy hit of the pepper and horseradish mayo – it brings good balance. If you are not super into the flavor of horseradish – you could omit it from the mayo mixture. I will say that horseradish goes incredibly well with most beef preparations. You can reduce the amount I have added to this for a milder version. Or you could put a thinner layer on it. Also – side note – this mayo is also super good on a roast beef sandwich or a bacon cheeseburger!

I served this up with some good ol French fries. I actually included some of the horseradish mayo on the side for dipping (it’s that good!). You could do onion rings, tater tots, or a side salad. This is also really hearty filling sandwich – so you may not actually need anything on the side.

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
