Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2/3 pound sirloin steak (about 10-11 ounces)
  • 4 slices of sourdough bread (about 7 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons spicy chimichurri sauce (or more if desired)
  • 1/3 heaping cup crumbled feta cheese (1.5 ounces)
  • 1/2 packed cup arugula
  • slices of tomato
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • splash of red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Make chimichurri. For the best flavor, let it sit for a few hours or make it a day ahead of time. If stored in the fridge, let it come to room temperature before using.
  • Season steak. Liberally season the steak with salt and black pepper.
  • Cook the steak. Heat up a cast-iron skillet, add butter, and let it get hot. Add steak and cook 5-6 minutes untouched. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until medium rare or cooked to your liking (time will depend on how thick your steaks are). Remove from the pan and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain after the steak rests.
  • Toast sourdough bread.
  • Assemble the sandwich. Evenly spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of chimichurri sauce on one piece of bread. Add sliced red onion and half of the crumbled feta cheese on top of the chimichurri. To another slice of bread, add arugula and drizzle it with a little red wine vinegar. Add the tomato on top of the arugula and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Top with sliced steak and put the sandwich together. Repeat with the remaining sandwich.
  • Enjoy. Slice in half and enjoy!
