How to Make Beef Lover's Dream Sandwich

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and granulated sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt. Remove onions with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
  4. Add beef broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5-6 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in whipping cream, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Add the cooked mushrooms and thinly sliced beef to the sauce. Stir gently to combine.
  7. To assemble sandwiches, spread a generous amount of the beef and mushroom mixture onto the bottom halves of the crusty buns.
  8. Top each sandwich with Swiss cheese slices and a layer of the caramelized onions.
  9. Cover with the top halves of the buns.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your Beef Lover's Dream Sandwich!
