Steak sandwich with whisky onion jam

Ingredients

For the steak & sandwich:

• 400g sizzle steak
  
• 4 slices sourdough bread
  
• Handful of rocket
  
• 1 tbs tallow (see recipe how to make tallow)
  
• 4 tsp butter (for spreading on bread)

For the whisky onion jam:

• 3 red onions, thinly sliced
  
• 2 tbs butter
  
• 2 tbs brown sugar
  
• 4 tbs whisky
  
• 2 bay leaves
  
• 2 tsp oregano
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• ½ tsp pepper
  
• 1 tbs balsamic vinegar

Method

Making the whisky onion jam

In a non stick frying pan over medium low heat, melt 2 tbs butter and add the sliced onions. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the brown sugar, whisky, bay leaves, oregano, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions are deeply caramelised. Remove the bay leaves and set aside.

Cooking the steak and assembling the sandwich

Preheat a frying pan over high heat. Add the tallow. Cook the steak for 1-2 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing.

Toast the 4 slices of sourdough bread, then spread with butter while warm. Assemble the sandwich by layering the rocket, sliced steak, and a generous spoonful of onion jam.
