Grilled Steak Sandwich with Smoked Gouda and Red Onion

Summertime means lazy days and nights.  We have to eat, but who wants to spend tons of time on dinner, when you could be dipping your toes in the water?!  This simple steak sandwich uses just a few ingredients, but they're flavor packed to make this sandwich extra delicious. Smoked Gouda adds that creamy cheesiness that we all love plus delicious smoky flavor.  Garlic ciabatta takes it up a notch with yummy hunks of roasted garlic nestled into the bread. All you need to do is spend a few minutes at the grill to cook the steak and onion to perfection!
