Cook the onions on medium heat until translucent, then add a bit of water to speed up caramelization.

Continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep caramel color, about 30 minutes.

7

Transfer the onions to a low heat to continue caramelizing while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

8

Slice the ribeye steak thinly, ideally using a deli slicer or mandolin, aiming for about 12 oz total.

9

Prepare the roll, ensuring it is crusty but not too soft or hard.

10

Mix garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to create a seasoning blend for the meat.

Preheat the griddle to around 400°F.

12

Cut the ends off the club roll to prepare it for the sandwich.
