Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove steak from the refrigerator and place on a plate. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Let come to room temperature while you caramelize the onions.
- Prepare the Dijon onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large sautee pan over medium high. Add the sliced red onions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the onions begin to soften and brown, 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 15 additional minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Dijon to evenly coat. Remove the onions to a plate or bowl, then gently wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
- Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium high. Once the oil is very hot and almost smoking, add the seasoned steaks. Do not crowd them-if your skillet is not large enough to easily accommodate both, cook them in batches. Sear the steaks for 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat to low and cook the steak for about 6-8 minutes, turning once, until rare and a thermometer inserted in the center reaches 125 degrees F. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips.
- Spread the melted butter onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, using just enough to coat the pan. Lay the bottom of the buns in a single layer in the baking dish, then top with the arugula, steak slices, Brie, and the caramelized onions. Spread the inside of the top buns with about 2 teaspoons jam, then lay the buns on top to complete the sandwiches. Brush the bun tops with the remaining melted butter, then cover the pan with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, just until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy warm.

EASY STEAK SANDWICH
I tried for years to make a cheese steak as good as the takeout sub shops of southeastern Massachusetts. I think this is about as close as you can come at home. Freezing the steak the day before makes it easy to cut into very thin slices.

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until tender. Push onion to the side of the pan, and add the mushrooms. Cook and stir until softened, then add the bell pepper and cook just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet. No need to clean the pan, just let it heat up a little bit. Place the steak in the skillet along with the pickled peppers. Season with salt and pepper. The steak cooks really fast, just a couple of minutes. Once the steak is mostly browned, return the onion and pepper to the pan. Cook until heated through.
- Turn off the heat, and place the slices of cheese over the top of the pile so they can melt. Scoop the whole pile into the awaiting bread, making sure to pour some of the juices onto that wonderful sandwich.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use thinly sliced steak that is at least 1/4 inch thick. Flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin are all good choices.
- To tenderize the steak, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Cook the steak over medium-high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 3 minutes per side.
- To caramelize the onions, cook them over medium heat until they are browned and softened. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Use a good quality hoagie roll or sub roll for the sandwiches. The roll should be sturdy enough to hold up to the steak and onions.
- Spread a layer of mayonnaise or horseradish sauce on the bottom bun. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
- Add the steak and onions to the sandwich. Top with cheese, if desired.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately.

These steak and onion sandwiches are a classic American comfort food. They are easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as potato chips, coleslaw, or french fries.
