  1. Prepare the Steak: Let the New York Strip steak come to room temperature for about 30 minutes and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  3. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet, add sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown, adding balsamic glaze at the end.
  5. Toast the Bread: Slice the ciabatta loaf in half and toast until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread lemon herb aioli on the toasted ciabatta, add arugula, slices of steak, and caramelized onions. Drizzle more balsamic glaze on top.
  7. Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and serve warm.
