Ingredients

→ Roasted Garlic Butter

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

1 whole head roasted garlic

1 tsp fresh chives, finely chopped, plus more for garnish

→ Steak & Onions

3-4 strip steaks, about 8 oz each

Preferred steak seasoning

1 large sweet onion, sliced

→ Bread Boat Build

1 large French loaf

8 slices pepper jack cheese

Steps

Roast garlic at 400°F for 35-40 minutes until soft. Blend with softened butter and chives until smooth.

Season strip steaks generously. Sear over high heat to preferred doneness. Rest 5-10 minutes, then slice thin against the grain.

In the same pan, sauté sliced sweet onion in steak drippings until soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Slice French loaf lengthwise and hollow out its center. Spread roasted garlic butter inside. Layer onions, sliced steak, and pepper jack cheese.

Grill or bake at 375°F until cheese is melted, bubbly, and the bread is toasted golden. Garnish with fresh chives.

Cut into portions and serve hot.

Tips

Allow the steak to rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
Hollowing out the bread reduces sogginess and provides a space to hold the fillings.
