Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 New York strip steak (about 1 pound; 3/4 to 1 1/4 inches thick)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 Vidalia onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt
4 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 ounce baby arugula

Steps:

  • Coarsely grind together the spices in a spice grinder, then rub steak all over with spice mixture. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Blend garlic and 1/2 cup oil in a blender until combined. Set garlic oil aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  • Bring steak to room temperature. Preheat grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 or 6 seconds). Season steak with salt. Grill, flipping once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes per side. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Brush cut sides of rolls with garlic oil to taste. Grill rolls, cut sides down, until slightly charred around edges.
  • Whisk remaining teaspoon olive oil, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add arugula; toss to combine.
  • Thinly slice steak at an angle. Divide steak, onion, and arugula among rolls.

Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Brie image

Tender and juicy steak sandwich with caramelized onions, creamy Brie cheese, and fig jam. An incredible flavor combination that's both easy and elegant!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 beef strip steaks ((10 ounces each) about 1-inch thick each*)
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
2 large red onions (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
8 mini-sized French rolls, (pretzel buns, or similar soft, but sturdy buns)
1 1/2 cups arugula
8 ounces Brie cheese (cut into thin slices)
1/2 cup fig jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove steak from the refrigerator and place on a plate. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Let come to room temperature while you caramelize the onions.
  • Prepare the Dijon onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sautee pan over medium high. Add the sliced red onions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onions begin to soften and brown, 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 15 additional minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Dijon to evenly coat. Remove the onions to a plate or bowl, then gently wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
  • Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium high. Once the oil is very hot and almost smoking, add the seasoned steaks. Do not crowd them-if your skillet is not large enough to easily accommodate both, cook them in batches. Sear the steaks for 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat to low and cook the steak for about 6-8 minutes, turning once, until rare and a thermometer inserted in the center reaches 125 degrees F. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Spread the melted butter onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, using just enough to coat the pan. Lay the bottom of the buns in a single layer in the baking dish, then top with the arugula, steak slices, Brie, and the caramelized onions. Spread the inside of the top buns with about 2 teaspoons jam, then lay the buns on top to complete the sandwiches. Brush the bun tops with the remaining melted butter, then cover the pan with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, just until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy warm.
