The Marlboro Man Sandwich

This recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman.  My husband loves all "man" food, so you can see why the title caught my attention.  I figured that the "manlier" the sandwich, the more my husband would love it.  Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 whole Large (or 2 Small) Onions
• 2 sticks Butter (lots And Lots Of Butter)
• 2 pounds (to 3 Pounds) Cube Steak (tenderized Round Steak That's Been Extra Tenderized)
• Lawry's Seasoned Salt (or Similar Seasoned Salt)
• 1/2 cup (approximately) Worcestershire Sauce
• Tabasco Sauce, To Taste
• 4 whole French/deli Rolls (earthgrains Are Best!)

Preparation Instructions

Slice onions and cook in 1/4 stick butter until soft and light brown. Remove and set aside.

Slice cube steak against the grain. Season with Lawry’s.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter over high heat (in same skillet) until melted and beginning to brown. Add meat in single layer. Cook one side until brown, then flip and cook until brown, about a minute on both sides.

Add 1/2 cup (at least) Worcestershire sauce, 5 to 6 shakes Tabasco, and 2 tablespoons butter. Add cooked onions. Stir to combine.

Butter halved French rolls and brown in skillet.

To assemble, lay bottom half of French roll on plate. Place meat mixture, followed by a spoonful of juice from the pan. Top with other half of roll, cut in half, and devour!

So the recipe calls for a TON of butter, and I definitely didn't add as much as it called for.  I halved the amount of butter each time it called for it and I thought that that was plenty.  Maybe it made a huge difference in the taste, but I doubt it.  I also added some sliced mozzarella to the sandwiches.  Anyway, that's all I really changed from the recipe.  And..... it wasn't amazing.  It was okay, and I definitely didn't hate it, but I was hoping for something amazing, and it was just in the okay-to-good range.  My husband liked it, (and ate two of them) but I don't think he liked it enough to ever even request it again.  So, while this wasn't a failure, I doubt I'll make it very often.  Still a big fan of PW though!
