- Start by preparing the caramelized onions. Heat a skillet over low-medium heat and add the sliced onion with olive oil. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until the onions begin to brown. Add the butter and French onion seasoning, then continue to cook for another 15 minutes until the onions are soft, deeply golden, and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Next, prepare the steak. Season both sides of the NY strip generously with sea salt and let it rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. (For more flavor, you can salt it the night before and refrigerate it, covered, overnight.) When ready to cook, pat the steak dry, brush it with olive oil, and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Preheat your grill to 550–600°F. Grill the steak for about 3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
- While the steak rests, prepare the sandwich. Butter one side of each sourdough slice and lay them butter-side down. Spread whole grain mustard on the inner (non-buttered) side of each slice. On one slice, layer the cheddar cheese; on the other, place two slices of provolone. Top one side with caramelized onions, sliced steak, and pickle slices. Close the sandwich.
- Preheat a griddle or skillet to medium-high heat. Place the sandwich on the hot surface, butter-side down. Grill until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is fully melted, flipping once if needed.
- Remove from heat, slice, and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
You don't have to use sourdough bread. You can use your bread of choice. You can save some time by making the onions ahead of time. Feel free to adjust cheese and toppings to your personal preference.
