Ingredients

• 1 piece (8 oz) Ribeye steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 large (sliced thinly) Yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 1 piece (large) French baguette
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 1 cup Arugula
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Season the ribeye steak on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (cook longer for desired doneness). Remove the steak from the skillet and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Toss in the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar during the last 2 minutes of cooking and stir well. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Slice the French baguette into two sandwich-sized portions, then cut each piece horizontally to create buns. Lightly toast the bread in a clean skillet or oven until golden and crispy on the inside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and minced garlic. Spread the garlic mayo onto the toasted baguette halves.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwich: Layer the bottom half of the bread with arugula, followed by the sliced steak, caramelized onions, and two slices of provolone cheese per sandwich. Place the sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Top with the remaining half of the baguette, slice in half if desired, and serve warm with your favorite side dish, such as fries or a salad.
