Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a high-quality steak for the best flavor.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
- If you can't find ciabatta bread, you can use another type of crusty bread, such as sourdough or French bread.
- To make the sandwich ahead of time, grill the steak and bread as directed, but don't assemble the sandwiches. When ready to serve, reheat the steak and bread, then assemble the sandwiches.
