Instructions
Make the avocado mayo
- In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, Kewpie mayo, lemon juice, Calabrian chilies, and parsley. Use an immersion blender to blend everything together until smooth and creamy. If you’re using a blender or food processor, you can do that as well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Make the fried shallots
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan to medium heat (about 300°F). Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shallots in small batches. Fry them until golden brown and crispy—this should take about 15 minutes. Once fried, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. While they’re still hot, season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Once fried, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. While they’re still hot, season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cook the steak
- Preheat your cast iron skillet or pan to medium-high heat. Season your steak with salt. Sear the steak for about 3 minutes per side, until it’s got a beautiful golden crust and is still juicy on the inside. After cooking, remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Once rested, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
Toast the baguette
- Slice the baguette lengthwise and drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on the cut sides of the bread then place on a baking sheet. Toast it cut-side up either under a low broil in the oven or in a hot pan on the stovetop until golden and crispy.
Assemble the sandwich
- Spread a thin layer of the avocado mayo on one side of each half of the toasted baguette. Layer the sliced steak on the bottom half, followed by the Havarti cheese. Place the sandwich back into the oven for about a minute to melt the cheese. Once the cheese is melty, top with the arugula and fried shallots.
Finish and serve
- Close the sandwich and slice it into manageable portions.

Notes
- When frying the shallots, make sure the oil is hot enough so they get crispy but not greasy. If the oil’s too cool, they’ll absorb too much oil.
- You can make the fried shallots ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay crispy for a couple of days.
- The steak is key—use a nice, tender cut of steak, like New York strip steak, for the best results. Let it rest after cooking so it stays juicy when you slice it.
