Steak Melt with brown butter

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fennel bulb in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the steak, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the pickles along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with chili crisp right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
