Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Beef steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 large Yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 3 oz Blue cheese crumbles
- 2 slices French or ciabatta bread, sliced in half
- 1 cup Arugula (optional)
Instructions
Season the beef steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the onions.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low, add butter and granulated sugar to the onions, and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the onions are caramelizing, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the steak with the remaining olive oil.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or cook to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Preheat an oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C). Toast the bread slices for 3-4 minutes until crisp and slightly golden.
Assemble the sandwich: Layer the bottom half of each toasted bread slice with arugula (if using), a generous portion of the sliced steak, caramelized onions, and blue cheese crumbles.
Place the sandwich in the oven for 2-3 minutes to slightly melt the blue cheese. Remove and top with the second slice of bread.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious grilled beef sandwich with caramelized onions and blue cheese!
