Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Steak: Season the New York strip steak generously with salt and black pepper. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Sear the Steak: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and sear it for 1 minute on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached.
Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet, add thinly sliced yellow onions seasoned with a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Add balsamic glaze towards the end.
Toast the Bread: Slice the ciabatta loaf in half and toast until golden and crispy for about 3-5 minutes.
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread lemon herb aioli on the toasted ciabatta, then layer fresh arugula, thinly sliced steak, and caramelized onions. Drizzle additional balsamic glaze over the top.
Serve: Slice the sandwich in half to showcase its layers. Serve warm.
