Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking tray
  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Quick Garlic Aioli

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise preferably whole egg
  • 1 large garlic clove minced

Caramelised Onion

  • 3 large onions peeled and finely sliced (brown, white or yellow)
  • 40 g butter
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Steak Sandwich

  • 600-700 g grilling beef steak 1.2 – 1.4 lb
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tomatoes thickly sliced
  • 60 g rocket/arugula or other lettuce of choice
  • Mustard I use American
  • 60 cm Turkish bread about 2 feet long (or 4 rolls/buns of choice)

Instructions
 

Make Garlic Aioli

  • Mix mayonnaise and garlic together. Set aside for 30 minutes+ for the flavour to develop.

Caramelise Onion

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add onions and stir to coat in butter. Place lid on and leave for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  • Remove lid and cook for a further 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for a further 10 minutes until jammy.

Cook Beef

  • Take beef out of fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook steak to your liking.
  • Transfer beef to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 – 10 minutes. Then slice thinly.

Assemble Sandwich

  • 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.

Notes

Recipe uses quick garlic aioli; homemade version can be made using garlic, egg yolks, and olive oil. Caramelized onions enhance flavor but can be simplified. Bavette beef recommended for tenderness when sliced against the grain.
