Ingredients
Garlic Aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Steak Sandwich:
- 24 ounces skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 cup arugula
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare the Garlic Aioli
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well until smooth and set aside. This garlic aioli will add a rich and tangy flavor to your sandwich. 🥄
2. Marinate the Steak
In a large bowl, mix the skirt steak with brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the steak is well coated with the marinade. Let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the onions. 🥩
3. Caramelize the Onions
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes until the onions become golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside. 🧅
4. Cook the Steak
Raise the heat of the skillet to high. Carefully add the marinated steak, allowing any excess marinade to drip off before placing the steak in the pan. Sear each side of the steak for 3-4 minutes, creating a beautifully browned crust. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. 🔥
5. Prepare the Hoagie Rolls
Brush the hoagie rolls with melted butter and place them buttered side down onto a griddle or pan. Toast the rolls for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. 🥖
6. Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the toasted hoagie rolls. Add slices of Provolone cheese, followed by a handful of fresh arugula. Layer on the sliced steak and top with the caramelized onions. 🧀🌿🥩🧅
7. Serve and Enjoy!
Your steak sandwiches are now ready to be devoured. Each bite offers a perfect balance of flavors—succulent steak, sweet onions, creamy aioli, and the sharpness of Provolone. Serve these sandwiches hot and watch them disappear in no time! 😋
