A note from Nico
I don't know what it is about a steak sandwich — whether you order it as a pub lunch or throw it together yourself on the grill, it's always a big bite of satisfying comfort. This is the one I make on set when I just can't wait for dinner: a chef's snack before the real feast begins. The roast shallot, garlic and tarragon butter does the heavy lifting — the shallots go so soft in their foil parcel you can almost mash them — and the horseradish mayo has quite a sharp taste on its own, but the mayo and lemon juice mellow it right out. Grilled meat between garlic-buttery bread: such a simple joy.
