Steak Sandwich
A juicy steak sandwich, piled high with tender slices of steak, tomato, lettuce, caramelised onion, garlic aioli and mustard. The caramelised onion really gives this a "gourmet" spin but see notes for faster suggestions.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise (, preferably whole egg)
- 1 large garlic clove (, minced)
- 3 large onions (, peeled and finely sliced (brown, white or yellow))
- 40 g / 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt & pepper
- 600 - 700 g / 1.2 - 1.4 lb grilling beef steak ((Note 3))
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tomatoes (, thickly sliced)
- 60 g / 2 oz rocket /arugula or other lettuce of choice
- Mustard ((I use American))
- Turkish bread (, about 60cm / 2 feet long (or 4 rolls / buns of choice))
Steps
-
Garlic Aioli: Mix mayonnaise and garlic together. Set aside for 30 minutes+ for the flavour to develop (do not keep for more than 3 days tops).
-
Caramelised Onion: Melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add onions and stir to coat in butter. Place lid on (or place a baking tray over skillet) and leave for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove lid then cook for a further 20 minutes, stirring every now and then, until onion is golden (increase heat slightly if the colour is not changing). Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for a further 10 minutes until jammy. Remove from heat and keep warm.
-
Take beef out of fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Heat 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 thinlyagainst the grain.
-
Cut turkish bread into 15cm/6" lengths and split into half. Toast lightly.
-
Spread the bottom piece generously with garlic aioli. Top with rocket, then tomato slices, beef, caramelised onion. Spread the top piece of bread with mustard then place on top.
