Bull’s-Eye BBQ Original Open Steak Sandwich
Ingredients:
BBQ caramelised onions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large red onions, cut into thin wedges
Pinch chilli flakes
3 tbsp Bull’s-Eye Original BBQ Sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Open steak sandwiches
4 steaks
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp thyme, leaves picked
2 half ciabattas
BBQ Mayonnaise
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Bull’s-Eye Original BBQ Sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Quick pickled Beetroot (or buy ready-made)
1 Beetroot, thinly sliced
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ Iceberg lettuce
1 Round tomato, thinly sliced
1-2 tbsp cornichons or cucumber pickle
To serve:
Chips
Method:
Start by making the onions in a large pan with the olive oil, add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
Add the chilli flakes, Bull’s-Eye Original BBQ Sauce and the apple cider vinegar. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 minutes. Set aside ready to use.
Put the grill on. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and thyme leaves, then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta in half lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden.
Mix the mayonnaise, Bull’s-Eye Original BBQ sauce and Dijon mustard together and in a separate bowl add a generous pinch of salt and the cider vinegar to the beetroot and set aside.
Spread the bottom of the ciabattas with the BBQ Mayonnaise, layer with lettuce, quick pickled beetroot, tomato, season well, top with the steak and the caramelised onions, cornichons and serve with lashings of Bull’s-Eye Original BBQ Sauce and chips.
