Directions

  1. 1Place the sliced onions in a heatproof bowl.
  2. 2In a small pot, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. As soon as it bubbles, pour it over the onions.
  3. 3Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 mins.
  4. 4In a medium bowl, combine the cilantro, parsley, garlic, anchovies, jalapeño, olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, and salt.
  5. 5In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and grated garlic. Season with a pinch of salt.
  6. 6Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 mins. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  7. 7Heat a cast iron or large skillet over high heat until smoking, 3-5 mins.
  8. 8Add the avocado oil and tilt to coat the pan. Sear the steak 2-3 mins per side, until browned and medium-rare (130F internal temp).
  9. 9Let rest 5 mins, then slice thinly against the grain.
  10. 10Toast the ciabatta rolls using a toaster.
  11. 11Spread a thin layer of garlic aioli on the toasted ciabatta rolls.
  12. 12Layer sliced steak on top.
  13. 13Spoon chimichurri generously over the steak.
  14. 14Add pickled onions and microgreens.
  15. 15Close with the top half of the roll, slice in half, and enjoy warm.
