Butcher's Steak Sandwiches

Grill the steaks, sauté the onions and then cook the sandwiches using a single appliance—the Cuisinart Elite Griddler. This recipe makes plenty of herbed aioli; refrigerate the rest to use on sandwiches later in the week, or combine with chopped hard-boiled eggs for a quick egg salad.
