Steak Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions and Gruyere Serves 4
Caramelized Onions and Horseradish Sauce
2 tbsp. olive oil 2 large onions (about 1.75 lb. total), thinly sliced 4 sprigs thyme 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped .5 c. finely grated peeled fresh horseradish or prepared horseradish .33 c. mayonnaise .33 c. sour cream Sandwiches
2 10 oz. ribeye steaks 5 tbsp. olive oil Curtis Stone Butcher’s Salt 8 slices multigrain bread 8 oz. Gruyère cheese, grated 4 c. (not packed) baby arugula To caramelize the onions, bring pot to medium-high heat. Add oil, then add onions and thyme; sauté 15 minutes, or until onions are golden brown. If too much fond (the tasty brown bits on the pan) begins to form, add a little bit of water and stir.
Add garlic and sauté two minutes, or until beginning to soften. Remove thyme stems. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. If you decide to make them ahead of time, simply reheat them in a pan as you get ready to assemble the sandwiches.
In bowl, mix horseradish, mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with salt. This can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
When you’re read to make your sandwiches, preheat large grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat steaks with 1 tbsp. oil and season with Butcher’s Salt. Grill steaks, turning steaks over every 60 to 90 seconds for about a total of three minutes per side, or until instant-read meat thermometer registers 125°F for medium-rare doneness. Transfer steaks to rack over baking sheet and rest five minutes. Reserve grill pan.

I won’t be watching the stupor bowl, but might still make these sandwiches.
Please tell us why you won’t watch the game.
Do you have to mask up after every bite? lol
Hey, why not make this into a Super Bowl party Feast Thread? Love to see the top recipes people have.
Another good one I’ve seen grilled ham and swiss on Hawaiian Bread.
Shoot, depending on where you live, you have pretty much all day before the game starts. Gives you something to do.
With a teriyaki-glazed pineapple ring?
Oh baby!! 😋
Super Bowl. Gag me.
For the life of me, I could never get the hang of pan-grilling steak. Fortunately, I’m really good at charcoal grilling. I’ve recently upped my game by cooking steaks sous vide and finishing them on the grill — perfection!
Since you’re gagging on self-righteous SJW nonsense, maybe I’ll take your steak sandwich since you won’t be needing it.
Five minutes? Shoot, I'll need to rest about an hour after all that.
Bobby Flay, the King of Steaks, pan sears his steaks on cast iron. Gives it a great sear and taste and I think tends to hold the flavor and juices in more.
ummm...NO!
I did that thread.
Too,much work... hot pockets for everyone 😆
SIDE DISHES
1. Sticky caramelised onions
Caramelised onions are the ultimate pairing for a steak sandwich, and they’re really easy to make at home. Just slice up two onions, and simmer in a pan with a pinch of salt for around 30 minutes, or until soft and golden. Make sure that you stir the onions occasionally so they don’t catch on the bottom of the pan.
Next, add a tablespoon of soft brown sugar and a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and cook over a low heat for a further five minutes. The sugar should be dissolved, and the vinegar should be reduced.
It’s a worth making a little extra so you have some leftovers. Caramelised onions also work really well when served with burgers, cheese toasties, ploughman’s platters, and sausage rolls.

2. Rocket salad
The peppery flavour of rockets lends itself really well to be served with steak, and it adds a pleasing splash of colour to your meal whilst keeping things vibrant and fresh.
You can of course simply add some rocket leaves to your sandwich, though you might want to try something a little different if you really want to wow your dinner guests.
Create a zingy dressing by mixing a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and a tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon. When ready to serve, drizzle it over your rocket.

3. Fresh sliced tomatoes
Sometimes, the simplest side dishes really are the very best.
Try to find a variety of tomatoes that are in season right now, or better still, grow your own in a greenhouse.
This makes such a massive difference to the taste, and can be the difference between a lacklustre accompaniment and one that really makes your meal sing.
Once you’ve got your hands on the best tomatoes you can find, serve them sliced, drizzled with a little olive oil, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Chips
Is there a better combination than steak and chips?!
When you’re going to the effort of cooking and preparing a premium cut of meat, it makes sense to ensure you don’t cut any corners when it comes to your side dishes. Now isn’t the time for bog standard oven chips!
Making restaurant quality chips at home doesn’t have to be difficult, and you don’t even need a deep fat fryer.
Check out my homemade chips recipe, which you can bake in the oven or an airfryer.
Of course, if you’d prefer, you can serve French fries or potato wedges.

5. Stilton salad
A blue cheese works so well with steak, and you can take things to the next level by serving a punchy stilton salad with your steak sandwich.
You’ve got several choices here, and you keep things as simple as you like.
A stilton, apple, and walnut salad has plenty of satisfying crunch.
Alternatively, a warm stilton salad with streaky bacon is perfect for those early autumn days when the weather is just starting to get that little bit cooler.

6. Onion rings
A crunchy onion ring is a great side dish to serve communally in the middle of the table, allowing your guests to help themselves.
For a healthier option than deep fat frying, make your own onion rings by dipping sliced onion in egg and then panic breadcrumbs, and bake in the oven.

7. Asparagus
Asparagus has a whole host of nutritional benefits and a well deserved reputation as a superfood.
It’s high in fibre, low in fat and calories, and packed with antioxidants.
When it comes to what to serve with steak sandwiches, keep your asparagus simple. Gently roast in the oven and drizzle with a little olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. To really lift the flavour, add some shavings of parmesan cheese.
8. Marmite roast potatoes
Delightfully crispy roast potatoes are such a good side dish for steak sandwiches! If you haven’t yet tried Marmite roasties, I really can’t recommend them highly enough. The yeast extract helps to create those crispy bits, and adds a beautiful deep golden colour as well as a rich, savoury taste. If you’re not a Marmite lover, that doesn’t have to be too much of an issue. The Marmite taste isn’t particularly strong as you’ll just be using a very small amount. In fact, it’s likely that your guests might not even guess what your secret ingredient is!
9. Crisps CHIPS
If you want a mega easy option for what to serve with steak sandwiches, crisps are a great contender. Just pop open a bag, and you’re ready to go! In this instance, a good quality ready salted crisp will be your best option. After all, your crisps are a side dish rather than the main event, and all you need is a salty crunch.

10. Horseradish sauce
Traditionally, horseradish is teamed with fattier cuts of beef, because the strong flavour cuts through the richness of the beef and makes it lighter and easier to eat. Some also say that horseradish aids digestion, making it a wise accompaniment for an indulgent meal. All this aside though, it’s just absolutely delicious when smothered on a steak sandwich! If horseradish root is out of season, you might have to stick with a jar from a supermarket. If you can find some though, it’s well worth trying to make your own. This horseradish sauce recipe requires just a handful of ingredients, and you’ll be rewarded with a hot, punchy sauce that really brings your steak sandwich to life. When we’re talking about what to serve with steak sandwiches, horseradish can be a bit of a dividing option due to just how bold it is, but it’s always a good option to have on your table.
Jalapeño poppers. A huge crowd pleaser: simply halve, stuff with cream cheese and wrap in bacon and bake for 40 min at 350. Heavenly!
pan grilling is the same as charcoal except the heat is controlled.
