How to Make Chimichurri Steak Sandwich
Step #1: Spread some butter on the halved French rolls and place them under the broiler on low for a few minutes to toast. One of the most requested dinners in our house is the Espresso Rubbed Steak with Chimichurri Sauce. I do love that recipe, but sometimes I need to shake things up a bit, which is how this sandwich came to be. You’ll want to pick up some cube steak for this steak sandwich with chimichurri recipe so you can achieve that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness you’re aiming for. Step #2: Make the chimichurri by combining the parsley, cilantro, garlic cloves, dried oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Measure out the olive oil in a liquid measuring cup. Turn the processor or blender on, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the contents reach a sauce-like mixture. Set aside to let the flavors mingle. Step #3: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and light brown. Remove and set aside. Step #4: Season the cube steak with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder. Step #5: Add another 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet, then add the meat in a single layer. Cook for about one minute on each side, until nice and brown. Step #6: Add the Worcestershire sauce and return the cooked onions to the non-stick pan, tossing them together with the steak. Step #7: To assemble, lay the bottom half of a French roll on a plate. Add a slice of cheese, followed by the meat mixture and chimichurri sauce. Top with the other half of the roll and cut in half.
For reheating, gently warm the steak and onions in a skillet or microwave. Assemble the sandwich with fresh bread and sauce for best taste and texture.
