Steak your claim

I was not impressed with the cube steaks for this meal. I think a sliced strip steak would be much better. Someone used my green pepper to make her chutney. So I made this with onions instead.

GOURMET STEAK SANDWICH


4 cube steaks
8 tomato wedges
4 green pepper strips, 1/2 inch wide
4 bias-cut, 3/4 inch slices French bread, toasted

GOURMET SAUCE
1 can (10 oz) condensed beef broth
1 cup wine
3 green onions, finely sliced
Pinch pepper
1/4 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp snipped parsley
4 tsp butter or margarine

For the Gourmet Sauce, combine broth, wine, green onions and seasonings. Cook fast to reduce the volume in half. Remove bay leaf and add lemon juice, parsley and butter. Set aside but keep hot.
Pan fry or grill cube steaks 1 or 2 minutes per side. At same time briefly sauté green pepper slices and tomato wedges. Lightly salt and pepper steaks and vegetables. To serve, drizzle 2 tablespoons sauce over each sliceof toast, place steak on toast with a green pepper strip and 2 tomato wedges atop. Spoon any remaining sauce over sandwiches.
This Gourmet Sauce can be used to dress up hamburgers, left over London broil or roast beef.

I served this with some cheddar cheese melted on Tostito chips.
