Ingredients

    1 cup Marsala wine
    ¼ cup olive oil
    Juice and zest of 1 lemon
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
    1 tbsp dried parsley
    1 tsp mustard powder
    2 tbsp minced onion
    1 tsp coarse ground pepper
    1 ¼ lbs raw flank or chuck steak, shaved
    2 tbsp butter
    2 sweet onions, thinly sliced
    5 oz baby spinach or arugula
    Salt and pepper to taste
    4 oz sliced Provolone
    2 cloves garlic, halved
    4 focaccia or ciabatta buns, halved and toasted

Tips

Full amount of marinade is included in NI (if not using for dipping, account for only 1/2 cup total marinade ingredients)


Directions

Mix wine through coarse pepper in a large, non-reactive shallow pan.
Add shaved steak and stir to coat. Place in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. Remove from the marinade and pat dry.
Strain marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook five minutes, set aside.
In a large, deep skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are a rich golden colour – about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan, reserving the liquid, and set aside.
Return the pan to the stove, raise the heat to medium-high and add the steak.
Cook, stirring, until halfway done, then add the onions, baby spinach and ¼ cup of the boiled marinade.
Stir well, cover and cook until spinach is wilted.
Add 2 tbsp more marinade, then top with a layer of the sliced Provolone. Cook until cheese is thoroughly melted. Remove from heat.
Rub each cut side of each toasted bun half with the cut garlic cloves.
Spoon ¼ of the pan mixture onto one half of each bun and press down well.
If desired, serve boiled marinade alongside for dipping.
