Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks or your preferred cut
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 sandwich buns or baguette rolls
- For the hollandaise sauce:
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Preparation
Caramelize the Onions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside.
Cook the Steak
Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
Make the Hollandaise Sauce
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over simmering water (double boiler) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in melted butter, whisking continuously. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Assembling the Sandwiches
Slice the buns and toast lightly if desired. Spread a generous layer of hollandaise sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with sliced steak, caramelized onions, and more hollandaise. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
