Chimichurri Steak Sandwiches with Roasted Corn and Red Pepper Salsa

[heart_this] · Sep 18, 2010 · 27 Comments

Chimichurri Steak Sandwiches with Roasted Corn and Red Pepper Salsa

The reason that I was making chimichurri sauce so late in the summer was that I had just one more dish with corn that I just had to get in before it disappeared from the farmers market. A while ago I came across a photo, which I cannot find now, of a sandwich with sliced steak, a green sauce and corn and I immediately thought that it was a grilled steak with chimichurri and corn salsa sandwich. I can take any excuse to pick up a nice piece of steak and barley sear it to medium rare perfection and the thought of combining that tender steak with a flavourful chimichurri sauce and a sweet corn and red pepper salsa all wrapped up into a sandwich was impossible to resist. Luckily I was still able to get some corn at the farmers market the week after I got back from my vacation and I got a chance to make these delightful sandwiches. Although you have to cook a steak, make the chimichurri, make the salsa and then assemble everything into a sandwich, it is definitely worth the effort as these sandwiches are packed with flavour! I tried some of the leftovers with some crumbled feta and the saltiness complimented the sweetness of the salsa particularly well.

    This looks amazing – I love steak and I love chimichurri so all my bases are covered.

    *Note to self* don`t come by this blog while hungry!

    Meanwhile, have you ever tried Tyler Florences pork tenderloin with chimichurri – it`s also very good.

    And ps… I made your corn fritters last night. They were To. Die. For. I plan to blog about them in the future and will link back to you.
