This summer sandwich is bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil, for grates

  • 3 boneless rib-eye steaks (each about 1 pound and 1 inch thick), excess fat removed

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • 1 large red onion, sliced ½ inch thick

  • 2 baguettes, split

  • 5 ounces fresh goat cheese, room temperature

  • ¼ cup grainy mustard

  • 2 bunches arugula (about 10 ounces total), stems trimmed

Directions

  1. Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. Season steaks with salt and pepper; grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; let rest 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, grill onion until tender and charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; separate into rings. (To store, refrigerate steaks and onion, up to 1 day.)

  3. Assemble sandwiches: Thinly slice steaks against the grain. Dividing evenly, spread top halves of bread with cheese, and bottom halves with mustard. Pile steak, onion, and arugula on bottom halves; close sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into quarters, and serve.

Cook's Notes

If you're making these for a party, grill the steaks one day ahead.
