Heavenly Ingredients:

STEAK

  • 12 ounces filet mignon, center cut, gracefully resting at room temperature
  • A sprinkle of salt (for that celestial touch)
  • A dash of black pepper (because why not?)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (to ignite the flavor explosion)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for a buttery symphony)

 

CHIPOTLE SAUCE

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (the maestro of creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (for the perfect harmony)
  • Juice of 1 lime (a citrusy overture)
  • 1/2 to 1 tablespoon honey (for a sweet serenade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (because spice is the spice of life)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (a dash of fiery crescendo)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons adobo paste (the secret ingredient)

 

 

GARLIC AND HERB SPREAD

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (the conductor of creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped (for the herbal cadence)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced (the aromatic soloist)
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan, grated (a touch of sophistication)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (because why not?)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (a sprinkle of herbaceous charm)

 

TOPPINGS

  • Sliced sourdough, large pieces (the golden stage for our performance)
  • Tomatoes, sliced (a juicy interlude)
  • Lettuce (the crisp accompaniment)
  • Avocado, sliced (the creamy crescendo)
  • Grated parmesan (for a sprinkle of opulence)
  • Chopped parsley (a fresh, green finale)
  • Beef bacon (because bacon makes everything better)

 

The Grand Performance (aka the instructions):

MAKE THE CHIPOTLE SAUCE: In a bowl, conduct a harmonious union of mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, black pepper, chili powder, and adobo sauce. Let the smooth ensemble captivate your senses and set it aside.

 

MAKE THE GARLIC AND HERB SPREAD: Compose a sonnet by mixing mayo, parsley, garlic, parmesan, black pepper, and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside for the upcoming flavor symphony.

 

 

MAKE THE STEAK: With the elegance of a ballet dancer, pat the filet mignon dry. Sprinkle it with salt and black pepper for a touch of grace. Summon the cast iron skillet to the stage, heat it until it smolders with intensity. Add a splash of vegetable oil, then, with a flourish, place the steak onto the sizzling stage. Resist the urge to disturb the performance; let the steak pirouette for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Dim the lights to medium-low, add butter, and baste for another 2 to 3 minutes for a medium-rare marvel. Adjust the performance duration for a more well-done act. Curtain call! Transfer the steak to a plate, cover with foil, and let it bask in applause for 10 minutes. Then, with a precision worthy of a maestro, slice it – the star of our show is ready!

 

Assembling the Culinary Masterpiece:

To toast the bread: Set the oven to broil – it’s time for the bread to take a bow. Spread the garlic mayo on one side, and let it bask in the limelight until golden and toasted. Keep a close eye – no burning allowed!

 

To assemble: Compose a flavorful overture by adding chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, steak, a drizzle of chipotle aioli, a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley, and the pièce de résistance – bacon. Seal the deal with the other slice of bread, press it all down, and with a grand gesture, slice in half to enjoy the culinary crescendo!

 

Bravo! You’ve just orchestrated a symphony of flavors that deserves a standing ovation. Indulge in the Steak Supreme Delight – where satire meets sizzle, and every bite is a culinary encore!
