"When I was a kid, my dad would take us for fish and chips every Friday night - the only other thing that you can buy at an Australian fish and chips shop is a steak sandwich, and I would have a dilemma every week about which to order. These days I like to make this sandwich with cheddar, beef, and horseradish sauce. They're a terrific trio and caramelized onions cap this off."

ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large (about 2 pounds) onions, thinly sliced
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup horseradish, freshly grated
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 (12 ounce) New York top loin steaks, 1" thick
- Kosher salt, as needed
- Black pepper, freshly ground, as needed
- 12 slices sourdough bread, cut 1/2" thick
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 cups arugula
Method
Step 1
Make the Caramelized Onions: heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, then add onions and thyme; sauté 15 minutes, or until onions are golden brown. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes, or until beginning to soften. Remove thyme stems. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
Make the Horseradish Sauce: In a bowl, mix horseradish, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Season raw steaks with salt and pepper and coat with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Step 4
Barbecue steaks over medium-high heat 3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Transfer steaks to the carving board and rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Brush both sides of bread slices with 4 tablespoons of oil. Barbecue on one side for 2 minutes. Turn bread over and divide cheese among 6 slices.
Step 6
Close BBQ hood and cook until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Spread 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce over each of the 6 slices without cheese.
Step 7
Trim fat and sinew from steaks, then thinly slice steaks across grain. Divide steak among sauce-topped bread. Top with onions, more sauce, arugula, and remaining bread slices, cheese side down.
