Steak Sandwich with Blue Cheese and Sweet-and-Sour Tomatoes

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 1 lb. sirloin steak, trimmed
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• 1 pt. grape tomatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp. golden raisins, chopped
• 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• pinch allspice
• 1 scallion, thinly sliced
• 8 slices country bread, toasted if desired
• 2 c. watercress or arugula
• 2 oz. blue cheese, crumbled

Preparation

Step 1

Heat broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil. Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and broil to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, make the chutney: Combine the tomatoes, raisins, vinegar, brown sugar, allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, squishing and stirring the tomatoes occasionally, until they have broken down and the mixture has slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in the scallion.
Form sandwiches with the bread, chutney, steak, watercress, and blue cheese.
