Best 4 Argentinian Steak Sandwiches Recipes

ARGENTINIAN STEAK WITH RED CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Place parsley, onion, tomato, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, bay leaf, black pepper, and chile flakes into a large bowl. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
• Mix vinegar and water into the chimichurri and allow to sit for another 30 minutes.
• Mix olive oil into the mixture and transfer to a glass, non-reactive, container with a lid. Make sure liquid covers the ingredients; if not, add equal parts water, red wine vinegar, and oil until it does. Place in the refrigerator and let stand, 6 hours, up to 2 days.
• Poke steaks all over with a fork. Mix sweet onions, cilantro, white wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, and cumin together for beef in a bowl.
• Place steaks into marinade and refrigerate for 6 hours, to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Sear steaks on the preheated grill, about 2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to medium and grill until desired doneness level, or about 5 minutes per side. Serve with chimichurri.

STEAK GAUCHO-STYLE WITH ARGENTINIAN CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place all chimichurri sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not pureed. Reserve.
• Dissolve cayenne pepper and salt in 1 cup hot water. Transfer to a squeeze container.
• Place the steak directly over a hot grill, baste with the chimichurri grilling sauce, and grill until the outer portion of the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and slice long strips from the outer edges of the steak. Instruct guests to pick up a steak slice from the cutting board with their fingers, place it on a slice of baguette, and enjoy. Return the remaining steak to the grill, baste, and grill until more of the steak is cooked. Remove and repeat the slicing and serving procedure until steak is consumed. For extra spicy steak, baste 2 or 3 additional times with the cayenne pepper mixture during grilling process. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak. (Also brilliant on any grilled fish or chicken)

CHIMICHURRI-STYLE STEAK SARNIES & CHEAT'S SPICY FRIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to its highest setting. For the fries, pour the sunflower oil into a baking tray and put in the oven for 15 mins to get hot. Reduce the temperature to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Tip the fries into the oil, turn to coat, and cook for 20 mins. Add the Cajun spice mix and return to the oven for 15 mins until golden and crisp.
• Meanwhile, make the mayo by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
• For the chimichurri-style sauce, blitz all the ingredients together until you have a smooth sauce, then season to taste. Set aside.
• Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Rub the steaks with salt only (pepper will catch and burn), put the steaks in the pan and cook for 3 mins on each side (for medium). Remove from the pan, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 mins.
• Halve the ciabatta rolls, toast in the same griddle pan that you cooked the steak in, cut-side down, and spread one half of each with the chipotle mayo. Slice the steak into strips, divide between the ciabattas, drizzle over the chimichurri and add a little rocket. Serve with the fries and any leftover mayo.

ARGENTINIAN STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• To make chimichurri sauce, combine all ingredients from 1/2 cup olive oil through 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat a barbecue grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush steaks with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Cook steaks for 3 minutes each side for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. (The thickness of the steaks will also determine the amount of time.) Cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut a slit lengthwise along top of baguettes, cutting almost to base. Pull them open without splitting. Brush inside with mayonnaise, then fill with lettuce and avocado. Thinly slice steaks across the grain, then divide among sandwiches. Spoon sauce over the top of the sandwiches and serve.
