Ingredients
For the Sandwich
- 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
For the Chimichurri
- 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
- Spread some butter on the halved French rolls and place them under the broiler on low for a few minutes to toast.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season the cube steak with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.
- 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.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and return the cooked onions to the non-stick pan, tossing them together with the steak.
- 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.
Notes
Store the components of the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich separately for best results. You can refrigerate the chimichurri sauce in an airtight container for up to a week. Cooked steak and onions will last 3-4 days in the fridge. It's not recommended to freeze the assembled sandwich, but you can freeze the cooked steak for up to 3 months.
For reheating, gently warm the steak and onions in a skillet or microwave. Assemble the sandwich with fresh bread and sauce for the best taste and texture.
