Method
For the Mustard Aioli
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
For the Creamed Spinach
Step 1
Blanch the spinach in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes. Place in a cold water bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool, chop. In a saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add the cream cheese, season with salt and pepper, and stir until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
For the Caramelized Onions
Step 1
In a cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook slowly until they become soft, golden brown, and caramelized. This may take 30-45 minutes. Set aside.
For the Seared New York Strip Steaks
Step 1
Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before searing. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in the same cast-iron skillet used to caramelized the onions over high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the steaks. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached. After flipping, add the butte , garlic, and thyme or rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter and aromatics over the steak as it finishes cooking. Remove from heat and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
For the Sandwiches
Step 1
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of mustard aioli on one or both sides of the rolls. Lay the sliced steak on the bottom half, followed by the Swiss cheese. Then layer on the creamed spinach and caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll.
