Guinness Lamb And Swiss Sandwiches

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 4 slices lamb loin, cut in 1/2-inch slices
• 4 onion rolls (kaiser rolls will work just as well)
• 8 slices swiss cheese (2 per sandwich)
• 2 medium onions, cut in half and thin sliced (you want to end up with approximately 1-1/2 cups cooked)
• 1 1/2 cups guinness beer (a good dark beer will also work)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• salt
• pepper
• 2 cups of pre-shredded coleslaw mix
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 lamb -- if the lamb is already done, just slice and set to the side while you prepare the onions. it will reheat in the beer along with the onions.
• 2 if it isn't pre-cooked, slice the lamb and season well with salt, pepper and the rosemary. heat up 1/2 butter in a large skillet on medium high to high heat and pan saute the lamb on both sides. it will continue to cook in the beer broth, so it doesn't have to be cooked all the way through. remove the lamb to a plate while you start the onions.
• 3 onions -- saute the onions on medium high heat in the remaining butter. cook about 7-10 minutes until the onions begin to soften and get slightly brown. then add the beer to the onions and add the lamb back to the onions and beer. cover and cook another 10 minutes until the lamb and onions are tender.
• 4 mayo -- as the onions and lamb cook, prepare the mayo and coleslaw. mix the mayo, barbaque sauce and rosemary and set to the side.
• 5 coleslaw -- toss the pre-shredded coleslaw mix with the cider vinegar and salt and pepper and set to the side.
• 6 sandwich -- the lamb should be tender and the onions soft. now i prefer to toast my rolls, but that is personal taste. just lightly toast under the broiler for a few seconds. they will go back under the broiler to melt the cheese, so i don't like them too brown.
• 7 top each bottom roll with a little of the barbeque mayo, then a cheese slice and a slice of the lamb (the warm lamb will melt the cheese). top the lamb with the onions and the second slice of cheese and put under the broiler for a few minutes until melted. remove from the oven and top the melted cheese with the coleslaw and finish with the top roll also spread with the barbeque mayo. enjoy!
