Rustic Rib-Eye on Ciabatta

Rustic Rib-Eye on Ciabatta
  • 3 (8 ounce) rib-eye steaks
  • 3 tablespoons butter, or as needed (optional)
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread, split in half horizontally
  • 4 slices Muenster cheese


  1. Coat steaks with 1 tablespoon butter each; season with salt and pepper. Place each steak in a vaccum-seal bag. Seal the bags and place in a water bath with a sous vide cooker inserted. Set temperature to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C); cook until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 1 hour.
  2. Combine 1 tablespoon butter, garlic oil, and brown sugar in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Place onion into the pan in a single layer; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, adding a splash of water if needed, until onions are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  3. Combine pesto sauce, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a bowl. Stir until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  5. Stir melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt together in a bowl. Brush mixture over both halves of the bread. Place bread on a baking sheet; add Muenster cheese to 1 piece.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  7. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove 1 steak from the bag and cook on the grill pan until nicely browned, about 1 minute per side. Repeat with the remaining steaks. Let rest until set, about 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  8. Spread pesto mixture over the bread; add the steak and browned onions. Cut sandwich into 6 pieces.
