French Onion Steak Sandwich

Savory Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Gruyère

Ingredients:

2 medium steaks (ribeye or sirloin)

1 French baguette, cut into 4 pieces

2 large onions, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups beef broth

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook slowly for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized. Pour in 1/4 cup of the beef broth to deglaze the pan and intensify the flavor. Let the liquid reduce, then remove from heat.

Cook the Steak: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness). Remove the steaks, let them rest for 5 minutes, and then slice thinly.
