steak sandwich with roasted garlic mayo & chimichurri
My favorite steak sandwich ever! Breakdown below!
Ingredients (Makes 2 steak sandwiches)
Whichever crusty bread you prefer!
Whichever cut of steak you prefer. I used a flank steak and cooked it in EVOO & butter until medium done, let it rest for 5 minutes and cut against the grain.
Some steak tips below!
generously, like generously season with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper!
my rule of thumb…3-4 minutes each side depending how thick your steak is. i do medium/medium high to get a good sear. i cook it in olive oil and unsalted butter. then baste it with more butter & garlic
let your steak rest for 5 minutes. just set a timer and leave it aloneeeee. letting your steak rest allows the juices to redistribute through your steak so it’s nice and juicy
cut your steak AGAINST the grain! cutting against the grain means cutting against the muscle which equals a tender af bite of your steak. if you cut with the grain it results in a chewy steak. Find the grain and cut the opposite way.
•Medium or medium rare is the shit…no well done y’all🤗
Roasted Garlic Mayo
1/2 cup mayo
1 bulb garlic

For the steak sandwich, toast the bread, shmear on the roasted garlic mayo, top with perfectly cut steak and all the chimichurri you want! ENJOY!
