Yield: 4 (About 1 cup mushroom spread)

Ingredients

2          tablespoons butter
1/2        cup chopped onion
1/2        teaspoon minced garlic
8          ounces white button mushrooms, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2        teaspoon salt
1/4        teaspoon thyme leaves, crushed
1/8        teaspoon ground black pepper
8          slices sourdough or crusty Italian bread
8          ounces grilled steak (about 12 slices) or boneless chicken breast
1/2        cup thinly sliced red onion
2          cups trimmed arugula or spinach leaves

Directions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until browned and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, thyme and pepper.

Spread each slice of bread with about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Top 4 of the slices with steak, onion and arugula, dividing evenly. Cover with the remaining bread slices.
