Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Skirt Steak:
    • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
    • Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Caramelize the Onions:
    • In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat.
    • Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly until they become soft and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Saute the Mushrooms:
    • In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Prepare the Blue Cheese Fondue:
    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers.
    • Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the crumbled blue cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Grill the Skirt Steak:
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is achieved.
    • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Toast the French rolls or baguette slices on the grill or in a toaster.
    • Place a generous amount of grilled skirt steak on the bottom half of each roll.
    • Top the steak with caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and a handful of arugula leaves.
    • Drizzle blue cheese fondue over the toppings.
  7. Prepare the Stick with Mini Pickle and Mini Onion:
    • Thread a mini pickle and a mini onion onto each skewer.
  8. Insert the Stick:
    • Insert the skewer through the top of the sandwich, ensuring that the mini pickle and mini onion are visible on top.
