Chef notes
People love this sandwich! The owner of American bar can’t get enough of it. The au poivre is next-level and very addictive.
Technique tip: For filet, it’s best to cook to medium rare then slice to serve vs. shaving and then cooking. Find a bread you love that’s crunchy but also soft enough to bite into.
Swap option: You could replace onions with caramelized shallots and change out the cheese to something a little funkier or something like a white cheddar.
