Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb steak thinly sliced
- 1 lime
- 2 onions sliced
- 2 garlic cloves pressed or finely minced
- 1/4 cup mayo
- Sazon completa (all-purpose seasoning) to taste
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- Oil
- Bread
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup potato sticks
Instructions
- Add the onions to a large skillet with oil and cook over medium-low heat. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar.
- While the onions cook, season the steaks with sazon and fresh lime juice. Once the onions are nice and caramelized remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. While the steaks cook, add 2 minced garlic cloves to the mayo and mix well. Season the mayo with salt.
- Add 1-2 tbsp of mayo to the bread along with the steak, caramelized onions, and potato straws. Brush the bread with some butter and cook in a panini press according to manufacturer instructions.
Notes
- If you can't find sazon completa, use your favorite steak seasoning.
- If you don't own a panini press, melt some butter in a large skillet and place your sandwich in the skillet then press it down using a heavy cast-iron skillet.
