Steak Sandwiches with Crispy Onions

I created this steak sandwich recipe for my husband. Fried onions are a family favorite, and I thought it would be amazing to put them on a sandwich. The chimichurri-inspired mayo gives fabulous freshness and flavor. —Renee Seaman, Green Township, New Jersey

Directions

• Cut onion into 1/4-in. slices; separate into rings. Place in a large bowl or shallow dish. Add buttermilk; turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• In a small bowl, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Remove 2 tablespoons herb mixture; stir into mayonnaise. Refrigerate until serving. Stir 1/2 cup olive oil into remaining herb mixture. Reserve 2 tablespoons oil mixture for serving. Place remaining oil mixture into a large bowl or shallow dish. Add beef; turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Drain beef, discarding marinade. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until meat reaches desired doneness, 7-9 minutes on each side (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
• Meanwhile, drain onion rings, discarding marinade. In a shallow dish, combine flour, taco seasoning and remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Roll onion rings in flour mixture. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry onion rings, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
• Remove steak to a cutting board; brush with reserved 2 tablespoons oil mixture. Brush bread with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Grill bread over medium heat until toasted, 30-60 seconds on each side.
• Spread mayonnaise mixture over one side of toast. Thinly slice steak. Top 6 slices toast with steak, fried onions and, if desired, arugula and tomato slices. Top with remaining toast.
