Season the ribeye steak on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
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.
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.
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.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and minced garlic. Spread the garlic mayo onto the toasted baguette halves.
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.
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.
