Ingredients

  • 1 lb ribeye steak
  • 4 ciabatta rolls ciabatta rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Prise salt
  • 1 Prise pepper
  • 1 cup arugula or spinach
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Prise salt (for aioli)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Aioli: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well-combined. Set aside in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Steak: Season the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  4. Toast the Rolls: While the steak is resting, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll. Layer the sliced steak, followed by the arugula, tomato slices, and red onion.
  6. Finish and Serve: Cap each sandwich with the top half of the ciabatta roll, pressing down gently. Serve immediately while warm.

💡 Chef's Notes

Cut the sandwiches in half to showcase the vibrant colors and layers, serve on a wooden board, and garnish with a few extra arugula leaves on the side for an attractive presentation.
