Ingredients for Argentinian Steak Sandwiches

  • Beef Sirloin Steaks
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

How to Make Argentinian Steak Sandwiches

  1. **Make the Chimichurri Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh red pepper flakes (or less, to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  2. **Prepare the Steaks:** Pat 2 (8-ounce) sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. **Grill the Steaks:** Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach your preferred internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  4. **Rest the Steaks:** Remove steaks from grill and loosely tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. **Prepare the Baguettes:** Slice baguettes lengthwise, almost all the way through, creating a pocket. Lightly brush the inside of each baguette with mayonnaise.
  6. **Assemble the Sandwiches:** Fill each baguette with a layer of lettuce and sliced avocado. Thinly slice the rested steaks against the grain and divide evenly between the baguettes.
  7. **Top with Chimichurri:** Generously spoon chimichurri sauce over the steak in each sandwich.
  8. **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your delicious Argentinian Steak Sandwiches!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
