Pennywise Steak
A flavorful open-faced sandwich featuring seasoned ground beef on toasted rolls, perfect for casual gatherings or quick lunches with bold, savory flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix lean ground beef with grated onion, prepared mustard, milk, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned beef mixture thinly on the cut halves of the rolls, overlapping slightly to allow for shrinkage.
- Broil until the top is nicely browned.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding minced garlic or Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. If you're out of parsley flakes, fresh parsley can be substituted for a brighter taste. For a healthier option, try using lean ground turkey instead of beef. Make sure to keep an eye on the broiler, as cooking times can vary based on your oven's heat distribution.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pennywise Steak with a side of crispy potato wedges or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. These sandwiches also pair excellently with Broiled Tomatoes With Mushroom Sauce for a delightful contrast in flavors. For added crunch, consider adding pickles or jalapeños on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Pennywise Steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef-topped rolls under the broiler for a few minutes until warmed through, or microwave them briefly. Avoid overcooking to prevent the rolls from becoming too dry.
