Ingredients

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, or more to taste

2 tablespoons pesto

Jalapeño hot sauce, to taste

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 large rib eye steaks

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 large loaf ciabatta, split horizontally

2 cups arugula

1/4 cup jarred pickled red onions

Potato chips, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, jalapeños and pesto to a food processor. Pulse until well combined, then season to taste with hot sauce, salt and pepper, pulsing as needed to combine. Set aside.
  3. Brush the steaks with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a plate to rest.
  4. Drizzle the cut side of the ciabatta with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, then grill, cut-side down, until nicely charred and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a board.
  5. Spread the mayonnaise mix on the grilled sides of the bread. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Shingle the slices of steak on the bottom half of the ciabatta. Top with the arugula, pickled red onions and more pickled jalapeños, if desired. Place the top on the sandwich. Using a sharp knife, cut the loaf into 4 to 6 servings. Serve with your favorite potato chips.

This was a restaurant-quality sandwich! The tangy sauce and sweetness of the pickled onions were an amazing contrast to the savory steak (so don’t skip the onions!) I used all of the sauce—it makes the sandwich really gooey and delicious. It looks like a lot at first but the bread soaks it up. My boyfriend said “please make this again sometime” and I will.
