Preparation

Beef Preparation

1. Slow Roast the Beef

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the beef sirloin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place in a roasting pan and roast for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Let it rest before thinly slicing.

Fried Onions Preparation

1. Fry the Onions

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dredge the sliced onions in flour and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Pesto Preparation

1. Make the Arugula Pesto

In a food processor, combine arugula, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Sauce Preparation

1. Prepare the A1 Mayo

In a small bowl, mix the A1 steak sauce with mayonnaise until well combined.

Sandwich Assembly

1. Assemble the Knuckle Sandwich

Butter the rolls and toast them in a skillet until golden brown. Spread the A1 mayo on the inside of each roll. Layer sliced beef, fried onions, tomato slices, provolone cheese, and a generous dollop of arugula pesto. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
