Parisian Steak and Cheese Croissant Sandwiches

When I went to Paris, it was the best week of my life. I had so many great sandwiches there, and I wanted to replicate them. Here is a great recipe:

Parisian Steak and Cheese Croissant Sandwiches
Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 - 4oz beef filet steaks
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 croissants
6oz of brie cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices, at room temperature
2 cups of arugala

Directions:

Season the filets with salt and pepper. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. Cook the steaks for about 5 minutes on each side, or until medium rare. Set aside for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak across the grain, into 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick slices.

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Use a serrated knife, slice the croissants in half lengthwise. In 2 batches, place the croissant halves cut side down in a skillet, and cook for 30 seconds, to 1 minute until lightly toasted. Lay the brie slices over the toasted croissant halves. Place about 1/4 cup of arugula on the bottom halves of the croissant. Add the sliced steak. Top with the remaining arugula, and add the top of the croissant. Serve, and enjoy!

Serve with a caesar salad!

I had to post this photo of the cheesecake… good memories. That is what I call a good dessert!
