Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the steak by bringing it to room temperature for about 1 hour, then season with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the steak in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until brown, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
  3. Caramelize the sliced onions in the skillet over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, adding balsamic glaze to enhance sweetness.
  4. Toast the ciabatta halves in the skillet or toaster until golden brown.
  5. Assemble the sandwich by spreading aioli, adding arugula, steak, and onions before closing with the top half.
  6. Cut in half and serve warm, pairing with sweet potato fries or a light salad.
