Ingredients
Time: 20 mins
Serves: 2
- 2 x Waterford Blaas
- 454g rib eye steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- Large handful rocket leaves
- 75g cashel blue cheese, sliced
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
For the caramelised red onion:
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 3 large red onions, sliced
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Method
- Before cooking, allow the steaks to come to room temperature.
- Firstly, make the caramelised red onions, heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over a high heat. Add the onions, salt & pepper and let sauté over a lower heat for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking until they become soft and a golden colour.
- Add the sugar and vinegar and turn the heat up to medium to dissolve the sugar and reduce the vinegar until the mixture is sticky and like a jam.
- Season the steaks well with salt and pepper.
- Place a frying pan with the oil on a high heat until smoking hot. Add the steaks and cook to preference (2-4 minutes per side). Slice the steak and leave to rest.
- Slice the blaas in half to make a bun and add spread with mayo on both sides. Assemble the steak, caramelised onion, blue cheese and rocket. Add the bun lid on top to sandwich the filling together & serve.
