Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 slices Sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 8 ounces Roast beef
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Arugula
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Thinly slice the onion and add it to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the side that gets grilled.
3. Lay 4 slices of bread, mayonnaise-side down, on a clean work surface. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the upward-facing side of each slice.
4. Layer each bread slice with 2 ounces of roast beef, 1 slice of Provolone cheese, and a small handful of arugula. Spoon a portion of the caramelized onions on top of the arugula.
5. Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up.
6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
7. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
