Ingredients
-
1 Pound of Sirloin or Boneless Ribeye
-
4 ciabatta rolls or French baguettes
-
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
-
1 small onion, thinly sliced
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 cup arugula or mixed greens
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables:
-
In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
-
Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they become soft and caramelized.
-
Set aside.
Slice the Steak:
-
If you’re using leftover steak, slice it thinly against the grain.
-
If you're cooking fresh steak, season it with salt and pepper, cook it to your preferred level of doneness, and let it rest before slicing thinly.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
-
Slice the ciabatta rolls or French baguettes and toast them lightly under the broiler or in a skillet for a few minutes.
-
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise (optional) on the bottom of the rolls, then layer with the sliced steak.
-
Top the steak with crumbled blue cheese, sautéed onions, and a handful of arugula or mixed greens.
-
Drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra sweetness and flavor, if desired.
-
Close the sandwich and serve immediately, allowing the creamy blue cheese to melt slightly into the warm steak.
