Steak Sandwich
Sink your teeth into this: a juicy steak sandwich, piled high with tender slices of beef, caramelised onion, garlic aioli, mustard, lettuce and tomato. Fantastic for a quick midweek meal or for gatherings with family and friends!
Ingredients :
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise , preferably whole egg
- 1 large garlic clove , minced
- 3 large onions , peeled and finely sliced
- 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
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tomatoes , thickly sliced
- 60 g / 2 oz rocket /arugula or other lettuce of choice
- Mustard
- Turkish bread , about 60cm / 2 feet long
Directions :
- 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.
