Grilled Steak & Chimichurri Crunch Sandwich


Pat the steak dry, then season with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Grill or sear on high heat for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  • Make Cheese Crisps:
    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place small piles of shredded cheese and cook until melted and crispy. Transfer to parchment paper to cool.

  • Prepare Chimichurri Sauce (if homemade):
    Mix parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  • Toast the Bread:
    Lightly butter each slice and toast on a griddle or skillet until golden brown.

  • Assemble the Sandwich:

    • Spread chimichurri on the bottom slice of bread.

    • Add a layer of sliced steak.

    • Top with diced red onion.

    • Place cheese crisps on top for crunch.

    • Add another layer of chimichurri if desired, then close with the top slice of bread.

  • Serve:
    Slice in half and serve warm with fries, a side salad, or your favorite chips.
