Serves 2 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Onion
1, thinly sliced
Tomato
1, sliced
Lettuce
1 cup, shredded
Crusty bread rolls
2 large
Steak (flank or skirt)
1 pound
Chimichurri sauce
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  5. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
  6. While the steak rests, slice the crusty bread rolls in half lengthwise.
  7. Spread a generous amount of chimichurri sauce on both sides of the bread.
  8. Layer the bottom half of the bread with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and sliced onion.
  9. Top with the sliced grilled steak, ensuring an even distribution of the meat.
  10. Cover with the top half of the bread and press down gently to hold everything together.
  11. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or avocado.
  • 💡 Try using different cuts of steak, such as ribeye or sirloin, for varied flavors.
  • 💡 If you prefer a milder chimichurri, reduce the amount of garlic and red pepper flakes.
