Steak and cheese sandwiches

Why can't you ever starve in a desert?  Because of the sand which is (sandwiches) there!  That's an old joke I remember from when I was about 7 years old which I read in a Beano.  Hi Honey!  How's work?  I made steak and cheese sandwiches for dinner, you want some?  First you have to cook the steak.  I used beef that I trimmed off veal ribs, then I marinated it overnight in soy sauce and sugar.  Then I pan fried it dry at first, then added butter, and the marinade last after I pulled the steak out.  I like it medium rare, and since it's veal it's tender.  I stirred up the juices left in the pan, then put it aside in  a cup while I sauteed onions in the same pan.  I could not find any fresh oyster mushrooms today, so I had to slice up some canned champignon mushrooms to add in the pan.  That was a bit of a letdown.  I sliced up the steak as thinly as possible.  Then the bread slices, mayo, black pepper, pile the chopped steak on, the onions and mushrooms on top of the steak, pour the juices over it (not too much or it will get too salty!) and a slice of cheese last.  Bake it in the oven until the bread is brown and the cheese melts.  Oooh since you weren't here for dinner, I had to eat them all.  Yes, all 4.  I admit I got a bit greedy there.  But it was good.

Hey Natty Honey!  How's life treating you?  Do you want a steak and cheese sandwich?  It's as good as pizza!  Oh sorry, I ate them all!
