Grilled Steak and Portobello Stacks - Grillsanity!

March Madness is brewing with anticipation and fervor as we get ready for the biggest three weeks of tournament excitement of the year. Such mayhem requires fuel and worthy sustenance, and Grillsanity is here to keep the grill blazing and the gameday spread bountiful through all 67 grudge matches.  We start this season with Grilled Steak and Portobello Stacks, featuring layers of marinated steak, tender mushrooms, balsamic onions, horseradish sauce, vegetables, and toasted bread.  Each bite offers eruptions of flavor to match the back and forth action of the games to keep you fed and energized.

Each component of this sandwich gets a unique preparation to build a layering of flavors and textures that is amazing.  The steak is rubbed with olive oil and herbes de Provence, and then refrigerated for at least two hours to marinate and tenderize. Likewise, the mushrooms are tossed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The balsamic onion mixture is a reduction of onion, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, and balsamic vinegar for a sweet and succulent savor. The spicy horseradish sauce is a creamy mixture of sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and prepared horseradish. Grilled to perfection and layered on butter-toasted bread with fresh salad greens, red wine vinaigrette, and roasted sweet red peppers, these stacked sandwiches are sure to bring a smile even if your team is down.
