Grilled Steak Sandwich

  • Intermediate
  • Second Course
Ingredients
Rosemary Garlic Aioli
  • 1 Tablespoon Monini Rosemary Flavored Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large garlic clove , minced
Caramelized Onions
  • 2 large onions , peeled and finely sliced (brown, white or yellow)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt & pepper
STEAK SANDWICH
  • 1.2 - 1.4 lb beef
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp Monini Originale Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tomatoes , thickly sliced
  • 2 oz arugula or other lettuce of choice
  • Mustard
  • Ciabatta Bread
Preparation

For the Aioli:

Combine mayonnaise, Monini Rosemary Flavored Olive Oil, and garlic together. Refrigerate 30 minutes


For the Onions:

Melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat and add your onions into the pan. Place a lid on the pan and leave for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove lid then cook for a further 20 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the onion is golden. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for a further 10 minutes until jammy. Remove from heat and keep warm.


Meat:

Let beef sit out for 20 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat Monini Originale Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a skillet over high heat (or heat BBQ). Cook steak to your liking – if using a secondary cut like Bavette, skirt or flat iron, it’s best medium rare.

Transfer beef to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 – 10 minutes. Then slice thinly against the grain.


ASSEMBLE SANDWICH

Cut ciabatta split into half. Toast lightly.

Spread the bottom piece generously with rosemary aioli. Top with arugula, then tomato slices, beef, caramelized onion. Spread the top piece of bread with mustard then place on top.
