Tips & Variations

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
• Substitute the bourbon with a splash of brandy or omit for a non-alcoholic mushroom sauce.
• For extra crisp fries, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before frying.
• Try adding caramelized onions for a sweeter contrast in the sandwich.

Storage

Store leftover steak and mushroom sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the steak gently in a low oven or skillet to avoid overcooking. Reheat the mushroom sauce on the stovetop, stirring until warmed through. Fries are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in an oven to retain some crispness.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak?

Yes, other tender cuts like striploin or sirloin work well for this sandwich. Adjust cooking times according to thickness and desired doneness.

What is W Sauce?

W Sauce is a savory condiment often made with Worcestershire sauce as a base, combined with other seasonings. If you don’t have it, Worcestershire sauce alone can be a good substitute.
