Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon whole white peppercorns
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 New York strip steak (about 1 pound; 3/4 to 1 1/4 inches thick)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 Vidalia onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt
4 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 ounce baby arugula

Steps:

  • Coarsely grind together the spices in a spice grinder, then rub steak all over with spice mixture. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Blend garlic and 1/2 cup oil in a blender until combined. Set garlic oil aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 25 minutes.
  • Bring steak to room temperature. Preheat grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 or 6 seconds). Season steak with salt. Grill, flipping once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes per side. Let rest 10 minutes.
  • Brush cut sides of rolls with garlic oil to taste. Grill rolls, cut sides down, until slightly charred around edges.
  • Whisk remaining teaspoon olive oil, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add arugula; toss to combine.
  • Thinly slice steak at an angle. Divide steak, onion, and arugula among rolls.
