Chop the red onions for caramelizing.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of butter.

Add black pepper to the butter and then the chopped onions, mixing them in.

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the onions for about 30 minutes until they become soft and jammy, adding a bit of salt to help them soften faster.

After 30 minutes, add brown sugar and a splash of balsamic vinegar to the onions and cook until sticky, then let them cool down.

Prepare the mustardy mayo by mixing three parts mayonnaise with one part Dijon mustard and a bit of whole grain mustard, adding black pepper to taste.

Take the sirloin steak out of the fridge 30-40 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Rub the steak with olive oil, salt, and finely ground black pepper.

Heat the skillet until very hot, then add the steak to sear it in its own fat, cooking for a short time to keep it rare.

Add a clove of garlic to the pan with the steak while it cooks.

Once the steak is seared, add a generous amount of butter to the pan and some fresh rosemary and thyme for flavor.

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a clean plate to avoid contamination from raw meat.

Prepare the bread by spreading the mustardy mayo on one side and adding the jammy onions on top.

Slice the rested steak and layer it on the sandwich, followed by the gooey blue cheese and some rocket (arugula).

Top with more mustardy mayo and close the sandwich.

Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
