Hands Down, THE Most AMAZING Hot Sandwich!

I Stumbled upon this website a while back. This woman is hillarious! I love the way she writes (click here to visit her blog). She and her family live on a cattle ranch out in the middle of southern nowhere. She named her husband (very appropriately, I might add) Marlboro Man. Anyway, this is Marlboro Man's favorite sandwich. I made it for supper tonight and got rave reviews from even the pickiest of eaters, my 8 year old niece Lizzy. My favorite part of the recipe is the last step in the instructions.

Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich
Website: www.thepioneerwomancooks.com

3 pounds cube steak
1 large onion
6 French/Deli rolls
1 stick Butter
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Worcestershire Sauce
Tabasco (we didn't have any, so I used Franks Hot Sauce)

Instructions: -Slice onions and cook in 1/4 stick butter until soft and light brown. Remove and set aside.
-Slice cube steak against the grain. Season with Lawry's.
-Heat 2 TBSP butter over high heat (in same skillet) until melted and beginning to brown.
-Add meat in single layer. Cook one side until brown, then flip and cook until brown, about a minute on both sides.
-Add 1/2 (at least) Worcestershire sauce, 5 to 6 shakes Tabasco, and 2 TBSP butter. Add cooked onions. Stir to combine.
-Butter halved French rolls and brown on skillet.
-To assemble, lay bottom half of French roll on plate. Place meat mixture, followed by a spoonfull of juice from the pan. Top with other half of roll, cut in half, and devour! Now go get on the stairmaster. GO!

Staging:

Variations: Now, if I weren't married to a straight-up-meat-and-potatoes rancher, I would probably cook a bunch of sliced mushrooms with the onions. I'd add a little sherry to the meat mixture. And I'd melt a little sliced mozzarella on the top. But that's just me. Truth is, you could play around with this sandwich as much as you'd like: different veggies, different seasonings (thyme, fresh garlic, etc.), or a topping of different cheeses. Go play! Have fun! And report back to me if you make any life-altering modifications.
