  • PREHEAT grill over medium. Brush both sides of onion rounds with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp salt and season with fresh pepper. Grill until onions are charred and soft, flipping halfway through, 4 to 6 min. Remove from grill and separate rings.

  • BRUSH buns with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Grill until toasted, 2 to 3 min. Thinly slice roast. Divide into 10 portions. For each sandwich, spread 2 tbsp arugula aioli on top and bottom of bun. Layer buns with beef, then onions and additional arugula.
