  1. Turn this salad into a sandwich by marinating the steak in 1 tsp. Dijon mustard, 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, salt, and pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature 15 min., turning once. Cook steak and onions as in above recipe. Then place onions in food processor & finely chop, then mix in 1/2 tsp. vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Spread the onion mixture on 4 slices of crusty bread. Top with steak, arugula, Parmesan shavings, and 4 more slices of bread.
