Behold, the apple of my eye; a steak sandwich with a juicy addition of freshly picked apples, which are thinly sliced and placed atop a bed of Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, mushrooms, succulent AAA steak and served in a warm ciabatta bun with a side of crispy hand-cut fries. Now that is a well-executed sandwich!

Steak SandwichVegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 6oz (168g) NY striploin steak, centre cut

5. Spread truffle butter on both sides of ciabatta bun, and warm in oven.
