🥘Ingredients

For the Steak

1 1/2 pounds rib eye steak, about 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Sandwiches

4 crusty rolls or ciabatta buns, split
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices tomato

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season the rib eye steak on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
3While the steak rests, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet and cook the sliced onion over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until soft and caramelized. Set aside.
4In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, horseradish, and Dijon mustard to make the sauce.
5Spread the cut sides of the rolls with butter and toast them in the skillet or under the broiler until golden.
6Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. Spread the horseradish sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with lettuce, tomato, sliced steak, and caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately.
