Description
A hearty sandwich featuring juicy seared steak, caramelized French onion gravy, and melted cheese layered on toasted bread.
Ingredients
- 450 g beef sirloin or ribeye steak
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 hoagie rolls or baguette sections
- 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until cooked to desired doneness. Remove and let rest, then slice thinly.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until deeply caramelized.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return sliced steak to the skillet and toss to coat with the onion gravy.
- Split and lightly toast the rolls.
- Fill each roll with the steak and onion mixture, top with cheese, and place under a broiler until cheese is melted.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Use Gruyère cheese for a more traditional French onion flavor.
- Ribeye steak provides the juiciest result.
- Serve with fries or a green salad.
