Chimichurri Steak Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 Hoagie Buns
• 4 Tbsp. butter (plus more for the hoagie buns)
• 1 Large onion (sliced)
• 2 pounds cube steak (sliced against the grain into strips)
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
• 4 slices gouda or havarti cheese
• 1/2 c. fresh parsley leaves
• 1/2 c. fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 to 4 garlic cloves (peeled)
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Spread some butter on the halved French rolls and place them under the broiler on low for a few minutes to toast.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 4

   Season the cube steak with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.

5. 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.

6. 6

   Add the Worcestershire sauce and return the cooked onions to the non-stick pan, tossing them together with the steak.

7. 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.
