My mother often cooked us grilled cheese for quick dinners and I always loved it. We weren’t very wealthy so we rarely had good prime cuts of beef to go in our meals. I still remember that she served us canned asparagus to accompany this dish! To honour my childhood dinners, I offer you a grilled cheese that is out of the ordinary!

Preparation

In a bowl, with the exception of the flank steak, put the ingredients for the dry marinade and mix.
Put the flank steak in a large airtight dish, sprinkle generously with dry marinade, pour a good drizzle of olive oil and massage to coat well. Close the dish and refrigerate for 3 hours. Remove the flank steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
In a bowl, put the ingredients for the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper and mix. Reserve in the fridge.
In a ridged cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, pour a thin drizzle of olive oil and add the flank steaks. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Place on a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
On the bottom buns, spread a good amount of sauce and put half the slices of cheese. Divide the steak slices, add the arugula and the rest of the cheese. Spread a good amount of sauce on the top buns and close.
In a large skillet over low heat, melt half the butter and add the sandwiches. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Melt the rest of the butter, flip the grilled cheese and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut in half and serve!
