DrBBQ’s Garlic Butter Steak Sandwiches with Grilled Onions

By Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ

These simple steak sandwiches are a tasty garlicky treat. The recipe is for two sandwiches but can easily be doubled. I’ve used a plancha on the grill, but this all works just fine in a skillet on the stove top or an outdoor griddle. As always, the times may vary depending how hot your griddle top is.
