Instructions
Sprinkle the olive oil and garlic over the steaks. Generously season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
To make the chipotle mayonnaise: Split the chipotle pepper in half; remove the seeds. Purée with the adobo sauce in a processor or chop very fine. Stir the purée into the mayonnaise. Reserve.
Thirty minutes prior to cooking, remove the steaks from the refrigerator so that they come to room temperature.
Peel and slice the red onions into 1/2-inch slices.
Brush the onions and tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the onions over moderate heat until done, about 8 minutes per side. Put in a bowl and toss with the balsamic vinegar. Reserve and keep warm.
Grill the steak. This should take about 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
Cut the baguette into four 5 to 6 inch pieces. Split each in half and brush lightly with olive oil. Grill crumb side down until warm.
Spread chipotle mayonnaise on a piece of baguette, cut the tomato into half moons, and put slices on the bread with the steak, onions, and arugula. Cover with the top of the baguette and serve.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Two Vines Columbia Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 7 dollars per bottle.
