Steak Sandwich with Caramelised Shallots

Caramelised shallots:

• Heat olive oil in a small pan. Add the shallots and thyme, then cook gently on low heat for 20–30 minutes, until soft and light brown.
   

Steak Preparation:

• While the shallots cook, drizzle oil over the steak and season it well.
• Heat a pan until it's very hot, then add the steak.
• Cook for 2–4 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness:
  o    2 minutes: Rare
  o    2 ½ minutes: Medium rare
  o    3 minutes: Medium
  o    4 minutes: Well done
  (Adjust timing based on steak thickness and pan heat.)

Rest the Steak:

• Once cooked to your preference, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
   

Assemble the Sandwich:

• Spread mayonnaise on both slices of bread. Place rocket on the bottom slice, then layer with sliced steak, caramelized shallots, and the top slice, mayonnaise side facing inward.
• Enjoy!
