Spoilt for choice on what to have when you crave for sandwich? Why not have a Sandwich Trio? Better still, make it a Steak Sandwich Trio!

Ingredient

500g beef chuck tender (This is selected due to cost and texture)

3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Rosemary (Dried), more if you like.

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons sea salt 
Sandwich Loaf
Sliced Cheddar Cheese
Eggs
200g White Button Mushroom, Sliced
Butter

Method

1. Pour olive oil into skillet under medium to high heat.

2. Salt and pepper both sides of beef.

3. Brown all sides of roast. (You just want to get a nice brown coating on your meat for flavor.)

4. With a pointy-knife, poke about one dozen holes into top and bottom of the roast. This will allow juices to drain into roasting pan during oven cooking

5. Place roast into baked pan. Now add Rosemary, salt and pepper to top of roast.

6. Place roast into preheated oven to 180 degrees. 500g roast takes about 25 minutes to cook. I like my roast done between medium and medium rare. (The photo shows medium rare)

7. Play with the timing and temp to achieve your desire done-ness.

8. In a pan, heat up a knob of butter and soften the mushrooms till they turn dark brown.  

9. In another Pan, Fry the egg.

10. Assemble 3 sandwich loaf bread with the following combination -  (Steak and Mushrooms, Steak and Egg, Steak and Cheese)
