Steak Sandwich

Submitted by Hey Jude

"Friday night delight....I like this with an ice cold, Grey Goose martini. From Firefly, a bistro-type restaurant in Chicago."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 (3 ounce) rib eye steaks
• 2 ciabatta or 2 other sturdy sandwich buns (don't use hamburger buns, good sturdy bread is best)

directions

1. Heat one tablespoon of the butter and one tablespoon of the oil over medium and add both types of onion and a little salt and freshly ground black pepper; cook, stirring, until crispy and brown, about 15 minutes, then set aside.
2. Mash together the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the cheese and mustard and set aside.
3. Rub the steaks with salt and pepper; heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium cast-iron skillet over high heat; when very hot, add both the steaks and cook without disturbing for 2 minutes; flip and brown the other side for 2 more minutes- this will give you medium doneness but still pink meat.
4. Place the steaks onto the roll bottoms, top each with half the butter mixture and then smother with onions; top with the roll tops and eat with ice cold, alcoholic beverages on a Friday evening.

My son didn't like it. He saw the package of blue cheese on the counter, and refused to eat it. My wife and I loved it however.

wow!! luschious!!! The onions were outstanding, beautiful caralmelsized onions and the blue cheese and butter, delicious!! Even the cooking method was perfect. Just a wonderful supper, even if it was Sunday not friday and we had a little alcholic beverage too; a hearty red wine was perfect with it. Thanks for sharing a really enjoyable Sunday Supper.

Sweet bajeezus... these were awesome. We had a father's day feast with these. We used marinated tri-tip and used the blue cheese/butter lusciousness as a spread on our rolls. The onions added such an amazing compliment to the sandwich. Thanks for an easy, fantastic recipe!!! This is an absolute do-again for us!

Really really good! The changes I made were to leave the dijon out of the gorgonzola butter. Instead I mixed it with an equal amount of sour cream, slathered onto toasted roll topped with shredded romaine. The crispy fried onions are fantastic :)
