CHIVITO STEAK SANDWICH



Chivito Steak Sandwich image

The chivito, a little steak sandwich that serves as one of Uruguay's culinary calling cards, makes for a fine afternoon of lunching, or an easy outdoor dinner. Pound out the beef - rib-eye or shell steak, tenderloin or flat-iron - then put it on a hot grill. It cooks fast. Then assemble: a small kaiser or Portuguese roll, with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, some cheese and a slice of hard-cooked egg. Roasted peppers and grilled onions are welcome additions, and a spoonful of chimichurri salsa, freshly chopped, takes it over the top, but nicely. Figure on one or two per person. A nap can follow.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt and pepper
3 five-ounce slices tender beef steak, cut 1/2-inch thick
6 slices pancetta or bacon
1 large onion, sliced in thin rings
6 thin slices Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
6 small kaiser or Portuguese sandwich rolls, split
1/2 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade
lettuce leaves
6 tomato slices
1 roasted sweet pepper, optional
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced, optional
Chimichurri salsa (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Ask your butcher for 3 five-ounce steaks, about a half-inch thick, using rib-eye, shell strip or other tender cut. Trim excess fat from edges if necessary. Cut each steak in half crosswise and lightly pound each piece to a 1/4-inch thickness. You will have 6 small, thin steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a wide cast-iron pan or ridged grill pan over medium high heat, cook pancetta until crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Reserve. Wipe away excess fat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred and softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and set aside. (Alternatively, grill over hot coals.)
  • In the same pan (or over coals) sear the beef on one side till nicely colored, about 2 minutes. Flip it and top each little steak with a slice of cooked pancetta, a slice of cheese and some charred onion. Cook for about 1 minute more for rare, 2 minutes for medium rare. Remove steaks from heat.
  • Slice the sandwich rolls and spread with mayonnaise. For each sandwich, stack lettuce leaves, cooked steak, tomato slice, roasted pepper and egg if using, and 2 teaspoons chimichurri. Replace the top of the roll and press down lightly. Cut the sandwiches in half if desired. Serve immediately.

Categories     Entree     Lunch     Sandwiches     Sandwich

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 slices bacon
2 beef fillet steaks (or 4 thin slices grilled steak )
Salt (coarse, to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
4 sandwich buns (large, such as large ciabatta rolls)
4 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 head of lettuce
4 slices ham (deli cut)
4 slices tomato
4 slices mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Set aside on paper towels to cool.
  • If you're using steaks, drain the excess bacon fat out of the skillet. Slice each fillet in half crosswise to make 2 thin steaks from each.
  • Sprinkle with coarse salt and black pepper. Use a mallet to pound the steaks even thinner.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot and place steaks on the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Place on paper towels to cool.
  • Wipe the skillet clean. Melt the butter over medium heat and fry the eggs sunny-side up until they are done to your preference.
  • Preheat your broiler.
  • Spread the inside of the buns with ketchup and mayonnaise. Place the lettuce pieces on the bottom halves of the buns.
  • Top with each sandwich with 2 slices of bacon, a slice of beef, a slice of ham, a slice of tomato, and a slice of mozzarella.
  • Place the uncovered sandwiches under the broiler briefly to melt the cheese. Keep a close eye on the sandwiches so the cheese doesn't burn.
  • Remove the sandwiches from the oven and place a fried egg over the cheese, then top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately. Optional toppings include cooked onions, olives, peppers, and pickles. Salsa golf, a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise that is popular in Argentina and Uruguay, is the perfect condiment for this sandwich.
