Ingredients
Scale
- For the Sandwich:
- 1 lb (450g) ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 crusty sandwich rolls or baguette pieces
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional:
- Fresh arugula or spinach leaves
Instructions
- 1. Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper.
- 2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking (about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- 3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
- 4. While the onions cook, preheat the oven broiler or toaster oven. Split the sandwich rolls and lightly toast them.
- 5. Assemble the sandwiches: Place the cooked steak on the bottom half of each roll. Top with caramelized onions and crumbled blue cheese. If using, add a handful of arugula or spinach.
- 6. Place the sandwich tops on and serve immediately.
Notes
For best flavor, use a high-quality blue cheese like Gorgonzola or Roquefort. You can also substitute the steak with grilled chicken or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
