Ingredients
- 2 x 155g packs Taste the Difference 30-day matured thin-cut sirloin steak
- 2 ciabatta rolls
For the chimichurri
- 1 x 30g pack flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped mint leaves
- 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tsp finely chopped red chilli
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- a good pinch of sea salt flakes
Step by step
Get ahead
Make a larger batch of chimichurri and store in a sterilised jar* in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
- For the chimichurri, simply mix everything together in a bowl.
- Now it’s time to grill. Preheat an outdoor barbecue or a griddle pan.
- Pat the steaks dry with kitchen towel, rub with the oil and season well with sea salt flakes. Slice your ciabatta rolls in half, then toast on the grill cut-side down until golden, and set aside. Grill the steaks for 2 minutes on each side or until charred and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, season with freshly ground black pepper and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes. Don’t put black pepper on the steaks before grilling as it burns easily and will taste acrid.
-
Once rested, cut each steak into about 3 slabs. Place the juicy steaks on the toasted bottoms of the buns. Spoon a generous amount of the tangy chimichurri over the steaks. Throw on the top buns while playing Van Halen or Stevie Wonder and singing at the top of your lungs. Then enjoy your next-level tasty steak sandwich.TipSterilise your jars for 5 minutes in a medium-hot oven (190°C, FAN 170°C, GAS 5).
