Cooking steps

-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Thinly slice chives. Peel and slice onion into ½-inch-thick rounds; separate into rings. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; halve lengthwise. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Crush croutons in their bag.

-
In a small bowl, combine mustard, mayonnaise, and half the chives.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together blue cheese dressing, crème fraîche, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings).

-
Pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer steak to a baking sheet.
-
Roast steak on top rack until cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes. Rinse and wipe out pan.
-
Once steak is done roasting, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.

-
While steak roasts, in a large bowl, combine tempura batter mix, ⅓ cup cold water (⅔ cup for 4 servings), and salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4). TIP: If mixture seems too thick, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until it reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency.
-
Add onion to bowl and toss to coat.

-
Heat a ⅓-inch layer of oil in pan used for steak over medium-high heat.
-
Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, add coated onion in a single layer (you will need to work in batches!). Cook until golden brown and crispy, 2-3 minutes on the first side and 1-2 minutes on the second side. TIP: Lower heat If onion begins to brown too quickly.
-
Using a slotted spoon, transfer onion rings to a paper-towel-lined plate. Immediately season with salt.

-
Halve and toast ciabattas.
-
Thinly slice steak against the grain.
-
Arrange steak and as many onion rings as you like on cut sides of half the ciabatta halves. Spread mustard aioli on cut sides of remaining halves; close to form sandwiches.

-
Divide sandwiches and lettuce wedges between plates. Drizzle dressing over wedges; top with blue cheese, tomato, crushed croutons, and remaining chives. Serve with any remaining onion rings on the side.
