Ingredients
- 1 cup cola
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup steak sauce, such as A.1
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed and finely chopped
- 1 loaf Italian bread, cut at an angle into 1-inch-thick slices
- 2 large red onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 3 14 ounces bone-in rib-eye steaks
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cola, ketchup, steak sauce, lemon juice and zest, and ginger to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the butter and garlic. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Spread the bread slices on both sides with the garlic butter and grill, turning once, until golden, about 5 minutes.
Brush the onion slices and steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high. Grill the steak and onions until the steak is cooked to the desired doneness (about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare) and the onions are softened. Slice the steak into thin strips. Top each toast with steak, onions and cola sauce.

Tip
Easy does it
To know whether the grill is hot enough, hold your hand 2 inches over the grate; you should have to pull away after 4 seconds.
