Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Yellow onions
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Arugula
• 4 slices Provolone cheese slices
• 4 rolls Ciabatta rolls
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the steak. Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steak in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a nice crust is formed.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and baste the steak with the melted butter for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 4

While the steak rests, caramelize the onions. Thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Sprinkle sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another 10 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Prepare the garlic aioli by mixing the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 7

Toast the ciabatta rolls. Slice them in half and place them cut side down in a clean skillet over medium heat or under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until crispy and golden.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwiches. Spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on both halves of each ciabatta roll. Layer arugula on the bottom half, followed by sliced steak, caramelized onions, and a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the filling, then top with the other half of the roll. Press gently to secure.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this not-just-another steak sandwich!
