Ingredients

For 2 servings

Method

  1. Let ribeye come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. For caramelized onions: In another pan, cook sliced onions with remaining olive oil and brown sugar over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes until golden and sweet.

  4. Sear ribeye for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adding butter in the last minute and basting the steak.

  5. Remove steak and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  6. Toast bread slices until golden and crispy.

  7. Make herby aioli by mixing mayonnaise, minced garlic, and fresh herbs.

  8. Assemble sandwich: spread aioli on toast, layer with arugula, sliced steak, and caramelized onions.

  9. Serve immediately while the steak is still warm and juicy.

Tips & variations

Perfect Temperature

Use a meat thermometer for precision: 125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium. The steak will continue cooking while resting.

Slicing Secret

Always slice against the grain for maximum tenderness. Look for the direction of the muscle fibers and cut perpendicular to them.

Bread Choice Matters

Choose sturdy bread that can hold up to the juices without getting soggy. A light toast adds texture and helps create a barrier.

Loaded Steakhouse Style

Add crispy bacon, melted blue cheese or sharp cheddar, and sautéed mushrooms for an indulgent steakhouse experience.

Mediterranean Twist

Replace aioli with sun-dried tomato pesto, use spinach instead of arugula, and add roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella.

From our Instagram post

The smell of a sizzling rib eye hitting the pan is pure magic—rich, buttery, and just a little smoky, like a warm hug for the senses. I slice it thin while it's still blushing pink inside, letting all those juices run into the toasted bread waiting below. A swipe of herby aioli, a handful of peppery greens, maybe a few caramelized onions… everything melts together into one lush, messy, irresistible bite. It's the kind of sandwich that feels indulgent but still rooted in simple, honest ingredients.
