Method
Firstly, caramelise the onions by heating oil in pan and cooking for around 20-30 minutes, until golden and soft. Set aside.
Next, take the steak and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes each side (or to your liking). Rest aside and slice thinly.
Then layer caramelised onions on bottom focaccia slice.
Add sliced steak, cheddar cheese, and rocket.
Finally, add the other focaccia slice on top to finish the steak sando!
Dietary Info
This recipe is nut-free and can be made dairy-free by swapping the cheddar for a plant-based melting cheese.

Storage & Reheating
Caramelized onions can be made in a large batch and stored in the fridge for up to five days. The steak is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be kept for two days. To reheat, warm the steak and onions in a pan briefly before assembling your sando on fresh focaccia to keep the bread soft.
