Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Steak

    Season the Certified Angus beef steak with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing thinly.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Once the mixture thickens, reduce the heat to low and add the smoked gouda cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Caramelizing Onions

  1. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft, golden brown, and caramelized.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Lay out the slices of sourdough bread. On two slices, layer the sliced steak, caramelized onions, and smoked gouda cheese sauce. Top with the remaining slices of sourdough bread. Butter the outsides of the sandwiches. Grill in a skillet or panini press over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
