Chacarero Sandwich
Chacarero is a traditional Chilean grilled steak sandwich topped with jalapeños, tomatoes, and green beans. Yes, green beans on a sandwich. Might sound kinda strange, but the green beans adds a nice crunch and another layer of flavor to the chacarero.
Ingredients
- 4 oz green beans
- 2-6 oz top sirloin hammered 1/8” thick
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tomato thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño thinly sliced
- 2 ciabatta rolls warmed in the oven
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Simmer the green beans for 6 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Hammer the sirloins to 1/8” thick. I cut each sirloin in half so there will be 2 pieces of steak per sandwich. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat cooking oil on a griddle over medium high heat. Add the sirloin to the griddle.
- Sear for 2-3 minutes a side.
Sandwich Assembly
- Butter both sides of the ciabatta rolls. Place 2 pieces of the sirloin on each roll.
- Place the jalapeños on the sirloin, followed by the tomatoes and green beans.
