Method

  • Pat the steaks dry. Rub with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), parsley, garlic and chilli flakes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Preheat the BBQ or a frying pan to high. Cook the steaks for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare (longer if preferred). Transfer to a board and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the ciabatta and spread with softened butter and toast on the BBQ or under the grill until lightly golden, rub with the cut side of the garlic.
  • Slice the steak thinly across the grain. Layer onto the toasted ciabatta, spoon over Chimichurri, and press the sandwich gently to hold everything in place.
  • Serve with pickle slaw or grilled corn on the cob.
