How to make Steak & Cheddar Wafflewiches

1. Prepare the Cheddar Waffle batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups whole milk, 2 large eggs, and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix, as a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
3. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron grids if necessary. Pour enough batter to fill the iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle, depending on size) and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 waffles.
4. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the steak: Pat the 1 lb sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Sear the steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness, ensuring a nice crust. Remove from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
6. In the same skillet (or a separate non-stick pan), fry the 4 large eggs to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, or fried hard).
7. Make the Maple-Dijon Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of kosher salt, and a pinch of black pepper until well combined.
8. To assemble the wafflewiches, place one cheddar waffle on a plate. Layer with a small handful of fresh arugula, a portion of the sliced sirloin steak, one fried egg, and then drizzle generously with the Maple-Dijon Drizzle. Top with another cheddar waffle and serve immediately.
