Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flat iron steak
  • 1 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 8 thick slices Texas toast
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened

Method
 

  1. Season the flat iron steak with 3/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion with the remaining salt for 10 minutes until soft and deep brown.
  3. Move the onion to a bowl, raise the heat to medium-high and sear the steak for 4 minutes per side until it reaches 145°F.
  4. Rest the steak for at least 3 minutes and slice it very thinly across the grain.
  5. Butter one side of each bread slice, place four slices butter-side down, then layer each with cheddar, steak, onion, more cheddar and a second bread slice butter-side up.
  6. Griddle the sandwiches over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is evenly brown and the cheese is melted.
