Steak Sandwiches with Garlic Aioli by Shelbyaustinn

Ingredients

• 450g (1 lb) sirloin steak
• 2 tbsp butter (for steak)
• 1 ciabatta baguette
• 2 tbsp butter (for bread)
• 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp italian herb seasoning
• 2 russet potatoes, cut into fries
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt and pepper (divided)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the cut potato fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and crispy.
3. While fries bake, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and a dash of salt in a small bowl to make the aioli.
4. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter and sear the steak to your desired doneness, approximately 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
6. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly.
7. Slice the ciabatta baguette, spread with 2 tablespoons of butter, and toast in a pan until golden brown.
8. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the garlic aioli on the toasted bread and layering with the sliced steak.
