Are you all enjoying the Salad theme this month?  I am! I'm digging out an old favorite that I haven't made in quite a while and feel the need to do it real soon!  I call it a Steak Salad because, well, because it has STEAK in it. Others call it an Asian Beef Salad because it has soy sauce and sesame oil in the dressing, making it an Asian type dish. Then the Evil Jungle?

Sort of intentionally ... because I really wanted to make these sandwiches!! I had these mini hot dog buns leftover STILL from the boat parade so I figured I could make this a substantial Friday night, day after a big holiday dinner ... yup, it worked out great with the recreating leftovers! Sweet!! The only 'real' recipe here is the gorgonzola sauce ... you can use blue cheese if you prefer but I picked up a little 7 ounce container of this stuff earlier this week with these sandwiches in mind ... Here's what you need: Leftover cooked beef, sliced thin beef broth (enough to cover the sliced beef in a small pot) A-1 Bold and Spicy Steak Sauce.  A few good, generous ...
