Preparation

Step 1

To assemble:

1 loaf health or 7-grain bread

1 1/2 pounds rare fillet of beef thinly sliced, recipe follows

1 bunch arugula

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

For the dressing, mash the blue cheese with a fork and blend with the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

To make the sandwiches, cut the bread into 8 slices, each slice 1/4 inch thick. Spread 4 of the slices thickly with the dressing. Top with slices of beef and arrugula and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the rest of the slices of bread very lightly with butter and place, butter-side down, on top of the beef.
