How to make Steak & Smoked Gouda Biscuit Sandwiches

1. Begin by preparing the Caramelized Onion Jam: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the 2 thinly sliced large yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes, or until the onions are deeply golden brown and very soft.
2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of fresh chopped thyme leaves, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce and the jam to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the refrigerated biscuit package. Bake the 8 biscuits according to the package directions until golden brown and cooked through. Once baked, slice them horizontally and set aside.
4. While biscuits are baking, pat the 1 lb sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness, ensuring a nice crust forms.
6. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the steak tender and flavorful.
7. 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).
8. To assemble the sandwiches, place the bottom half of a warm biscuit on a plate. Layer with a slice or two of smoked Gouda cheese, a generous portion of sliced sirloin steak, one fried egg, a small handful of fresh arugula, and a spoonful of the caramelized onion jam. Top with the other half of the biscuit and serve immediately.
