Ingredients:
- 1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 4 crusty rolls or baguettes, sliced in half
- 1/2 cup arugula or mixed greens
- 4 slices provolone, cheddar, or Swiss cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or aioli
- 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Caramelize the Onions:
- In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce (if using) and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Rolls:
- While the onions are caramelizing, lightly toast the rolls or baguettes in the oven or on a grill until they are golden and crisp.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Spread mayonnaise or aioli on the bottom halves of the toasted rolls. If using, add a layer of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard.
- Top with the sliced steak, followed by the caramelized onions.
- Add a slice of cheese, if desired, and place the sandwich under the broiler for a minute to melt the cheese.
- Top with arugula or mixed greens.
- Serve:
- Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich and serve immediately.
Enjoy your Steak Sandwich, a hearty and flavorful meal that’s perfect for any occasion, delivering a delicious combination of tender steak, rich toppings, and crisp bread!
