How to Make Barros Luco Chilean Beef Steak Sandwich

  1. Prepare the steak: Season two 6-ounce sirloin steaks generously with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Toast the bread: Lightly butter two slices of crusty bread (e.g., French bread or a similar roll). Grill or toast until lightly golden brown.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Place one steak on one slice of toasted bread. Top with 2 ounces of thinly sliced cheese (such as Queso de Poroto - or substitute with provolone or another melting cheese). Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat (optional).
  4. Finish grilling: Top with the second slice of bread and grill the sandwich in a panini press or on a griddle for 2-3 minutes per side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Cut the Barros Luco sandwich into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
