Steak sandwiches with fried onions

Thin slices of quick-seared steak piled into toasted ciabatta with soft, sweet fried onions. A treat of a Friday tea that's done in 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook the onions in half the oil and the butter in a frying pan over a medium-low heat, stirring often, until soft, sticky and golden. Keep warm.
  2. While the onions cook, take the steaks out of the fridge, rub with the rest of the oil and season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a second frying pan until very hot and cook the steaks to how you like them, about 2 to 3 minutes a side for medium, then rest on a board.
  4. Toast the cut sides of the ciabatta in the steak pan to soak up the juices.
  5. Slice the steak thinly across the grain, pile it into the ciabatta with the onions, and put out the lettuce, mustard and mayo for everyone to add their own.
