Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Remove the New York strip steak from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter if desired. Sear the fat cap for 1 minute, then cook each side for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. Add the medium yellow onions to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 10-15 minutes until caramelized, drizzling balsamic glaze in during the last few minutes.
  4. Slice the ciabatta loaf in half and toast cut-side down in the skillet for a couple minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Spread lemon herb aioli on the toasted ciabatta, layer with arugula, sliced steak, and caramelized onions. Drizzle more balsamic glaze over the top.
  6. Carefully slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
