Steak Melt

The Wholesome Spoon

I love steak, mushroom, onion, all of it! On a warm sandwich with some melty cheese and some delicious au jus to dip it in? Now you're speaking my love language! This Steak Melt was unreal! It was so delicious, dripping amazing juice, every bite bursting with flavor. Oh, and the smell while it's cooking? That beautiful herb butter! This sandwich was one of my favorite things I've ever made! It was incredibly difficult to stop eating it!

To make the steak melt:

Preheat oven to 450 ℉.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Add all other ingredients for the steak sandwich besides the cheese and baguette. Cook 5-7 minutes, until mushroom and onions are tender, and the steak is no longer pink.
