Ingredients

• 1 lb ribeye or strip steak
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 loaf French or ciabatta bread
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 Roma tomatoes
• 6 fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 red onion
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the steak rests, prepare the tomato bruschetta topping. Dice the Roma tomatoes and finely chop the fresh basil. Dice the red onion finely. Combine the tomatoes, basil, red onion, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 4

Slice the loaf of French or ciabatta bread into 4 sandwich-sized sections and then slice each section in half horizontally. Melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave, and mix in one minced garlic clove.

Step 5

Brush the garlic butter mixture onto the cut sides of the bread. Toast the bread in a skillet, grill pan, or under the broiler until golden-brown and crisp.

Step 6

Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, layer slices of steak on the bottom half of each toasted bread piece. Spoon the bruschetta mixture generously over the steak. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, and add a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 8

Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread. Serve immediately.
