Memorial Day Grilling–Steak Sandwich Platter with Grilled Onions, Blue Cheese, and Steakhouse Aioli

Memorial Day kicks off summer and while we don’t quite know what summer will look like this year, I know this big steak platter will look beautiful at your cabin or in your backyard.  I love big platters of food your can assemble to your liking. It’s one of my favorite ways to share a meal.

This steak sandwich platter is filled with grilled onions, mushrooms, peppery arugula, blue cheese, and a steakhouse aioli to finish it off. Every good combo I could think of.  Use a good cut of meat and enjoy!

Instructions

1. In a small bowl or food processor, add the mustard, honey, garlic and mayonnaise processing until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Coat the tenderloin in 1 tablespoon olive oil and cover liberally with salt and pepper. On a prepared grill, cook the beef over med-high heat, turning occasionally to create a crust. Continue to grill until medium rare, approximately 20 minutes. (use a grill thermometer to determine temperature, I remove around 125 degrees.) Transfer to a plate and allow to rest for 10 minutes covered with foil.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the onions and mushrooms with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Saute’ the onions and mushrooms until they start to char, approximately 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
4. Brush both sides of the ciabatta bun with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until lightly charred, approximately 5 minutes.
5. To Arrange: Slice the beef into 1/2 inch slices, and arrange on platter. Add rest of sandwich ingredients arranging onion/mushroom mixture, blue cheese and aioli in separate bowls.
6. To assemble: Brush both cut sides of the bread with aioli, top the bottom half with grilled onion/mushroom mixture and then layer the beef on the mixture. Top the beef with blue cheese, arugula and then the top of the ciabatta. Serve and enjoy.
