Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 large Baguette or hoagie rolls
- 1 cup Arugula (optional)
Instructions
Begin by removing the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature for even cooking.
Season the steak with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Remove the steak from the skillet, cover with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the steak rests, thinly slice the yellow onion. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Meanwhile, prepare the garlic aioli. Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Slice the baguette or hoagie rolls lengthwise and toast them lightly in the oven or on a hot skillet until golden and crisp.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of the garlic aioli on the inside of the toasted bread. Layer the bottom half with slices of steak, caramelized onions, and 2 slices of provolone cheese per sandwich. Optional: Add a handful of fresh arugula for a peppery bite.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread. If desired, wrap the sandwich in foil and place it in a warm oven (350°F / 175°C) for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Samson Steak Sandwich!
