Method

  1. Put the grill on. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta in half lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden.
  2. Drizzle the toasted ciabatta with olive oil, spread the bottom half with the onions and sit the steaks on top. Cover with the watercress and close the sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta. Cut into four sandwiches and serve two per person. Serve hot.

Give it a twist

Use basil, lemon or rosemary oil instead of olive oil. Replace the caramelised onions with a few roasted peppers from a jar.

Taste team comment

'The layering of the steak, onion and watercress in the ciabatta was quick and fuss-free. The onions gave it tangy sweetness with a zing.'

    Can anyone tell me if the caramelised onions are made to the same recipe as those in the caramelised onion & feta pizza? If not, how should I do the caramelised onions for this recipe? Thanks all.

    In answer to the above - I think if I were to do this recipe I would buy a jar of 'Very Lazy' caramelised onions from the supermarket. Alternatively, I'd expect a jar caramelized onion chutney to work well in this recipe.
