Ina Garten’s Steak Sandwich features perfectly seared steak slices layered on crusty bread with a rich, savory spread and fresh greens. The sandwich balances the hearty, umami-rich steak with the freshness of arugula and the sweet depth of caramelized onions.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Caramelized Onions:

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

For the Sandwich Assembly:

 

  • 4 ciabatta or baguette rolls, halved
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon horseradish (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  • Season the steak: Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the steak: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  • Rest the steak: Remove from heat, drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 2: Caramelize the Onions

  • Heat the butter and oil: In the same pan, add butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook the onions: Add the sliced onions, season with salt, and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
  • Deglaze with balsamic vinegar: Stir in balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 3: Toast the Bread

  • Preheat the oven: Set to 375°F (190°C).
  • Toast the rolls: Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and lightly toast for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

  • Make the spread: Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and horseradish in a small bowl.
  • Layer the ingredients: Spread the sauce on the toasted bread, add caramelized onions, sliced steak, cheese, and arugula.
  • Melt the cheese (optional): Place the sandwich halves under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Serve

 

  • Slice and enjoy: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm.
