1 cast iron skillet
1 Cutting Board
1 Sharp Knife
- 2 lbs flank steak
- 4 bread rolls
- 1 yellow onion
- 6-8 tablespoon Garlic mayo aioli
- 5-6 slices mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoon Avocado oil for frying
Clean and pat dry the flank stead if needed cut it into smaller more manageable pieces. Then season with Salt and Pepper feel free to adjust the amount of seasoning to your liking I usually start with 1 teaspoon of salt per side and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, just make sure the steak is evenly coated with seasoning.
Heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat and add a drizzle with oil and then add in 1 yellow onion cut in half and thinly sliced. Add into the preheated skillet and sauté until onion slices are translucent and caramelized. Set the caramelized onions aside on a plate.
In the same skillet after you remove the onions add some more oil (2 tbsp) and (2 tbsp) of butter and sear the pieces of seasoned flank steak. Let the cast iron flank steak rest for 10 minutes and then cut thick ¼ inch slices.
To assemble the Steak sandwich cut open the 30-minute bread baguette and toast up on either the cast iron skillet or in a toaster. Then spread the Garlic mayo aioli onto the bread and top with slices of provolone cheese and sliced steak slices. On the other side add the caramelized onions. Feel free to garnish with arugula. Close the sandwich and enjoy!
