Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 ciabatta rolls, halved
  • 2 steaks (such as sirloin or ribeye), about 6 oz each
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

For the chimichurri sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast Peppers (20 minutes): Roast red peppers in the oven at 400°F until charred. Peel and slice once cooled.
  2. Prepare Chimichurri Sauce (10 minutes): Combine parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Season and Cook Steaks (15 minutes): Season steaks with salt and pepper, then cook to desired doneness in a skillet. Let rest, then slice thinly.
  4. Grill Ciabatta (5 minutes): Lightly brush ciabatta with olive oil and grill until toasted.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches (5 minutes): Layer steak slices, roasted red peppers, and optional feta on ciabatta halves. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce.
  6. Serve (2 minutes): Serve sandwiches immediately, with extra chimichurri on the side if desired.

Notes

For the best results, let your steak rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing. This helps retain the juices, ensuring a more flavorful sandwich.

The chimichurri sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor. If you’re a cheese lover, feta adds a delightful salty tang, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like goat cheese or provolone.

Pair this sandwich with a light salad or crispy fries for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious creation!
