The crunchy baguette, juicy steak, sautéed pepper & onions, and flavorful chimichurri combo come together so perfectly. Sandwich heaven!

I get inspiration for a lot of my recipes from traveling, eating at various restaurants, and quite honestly, requests from my husband, Bridger. His eyes tend to be bigger than his stomach, but I love it because he has some pretty great cravings and recipe requests that are fun to make and taste test together.

A CROWD-PLEASING CHIMICHURRI STEAK SANDWICH

Have I also mentioned that Bridger’s a big golfer? Anyways, he raved about a steak chimichurri sandwich he had after a round of golf one time and begged me to recreate it at home.

I’d never made a steak sandwich before, but I love a good challenge. And I’m pretty proud to say, Bridge said I nailed it after he took the first bite. So, let that be your guiding light into making this recipe.

Not only that, but I also made these Toasty Baguette Steak Sandwiches With Chimichurri for my brother-in-law, his parents, and my sister. And let me tell you, it was the biggest crowd-pleaser! We all loved it.

THE STEAK SANDWICH YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE

Also, you guys, for how deliciously savory these sandwiches taste, and how gourmet it feels, you wouldn’t believe how easily it all comes together.

I know making steak, or meat in general, can be very intimidating. Trust me, I still get intimidated too. What’s made a big difference for me though is using a meat thermometer.

It’s kind of turned into a key kitchen essential for me. Especially if you use a Bluetooth-based thermometer like the Yummy Smart Thermometer (linked HERE and in my Amazon Storefront). It takes all the guesswork out of cooking meat for you because it’s connected to an app on your phone, and tells you when to flip it and how long to cook for, depending on how you want it prepared.

But a regular meat thermometer totally works too! And honestly, it’s also just one of those things where the more you make it, the more you’ll get a better feel through trial and error.

Steak aside, all you otherwise have to do is whip up your chimichurri in a food processor, sauté your pepper & onions, toast your baguette and assemble your masterpiece.

HOW TO MAKE TOASTY BAGUETTE STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CHIMICHURRI

Ribeye:

Prepare your ribeye steak on a cutting board. Season with salt and pepper on either side, pressing into the meat.

Heat a medium skillet with oil on medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the meat. Depending on the thickness of the ribeye and how you prefer it cooked, sear about 4-8 minutes per side.

Once done, return back to clean cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch strips.

Chimichurri:

While the steak is cooking, prepare the chimichurri. Add all ingredients into food processor and pulse until smooth. Remove and set aside.

Peppers & Onions:

In a small or medium skillet, add oil and turn to medium to high heat. Add in your veggies and toss every few minutes. *To speed cooking, cover with a lid and continue to stir every few minutes.

Season with sea salt and remove from burner once veggies are slightly charred and tender.

Baguette Sandwiches:

Turn the oven on broil, high heat.

Slice the baguette in half, lengthwise.

Spread one side with ghee or butter, then lay inside-up on the center rack in the oven. Let broil for about 2-5 minutes, or until the baguette is beginning to turn golden brown. Remove and add to cutting board.

Layer the baguette with the sliced steak, chimichurri, then sauteed peppers and onions. Fold over the top half of the baguette, then slice diagonally into smaller sandwiches. Enjoy!

RECIPE SUBSTITUTIONS & QUESTIONS

You could try making this sandwich with skirt steak instead of ribeye, or if you’re not a steak girlie, you could even try making with chicken instead. Also, rather than making a homemade chimichurri sauce, you could go the store-bought route. And feel free to serve with your favorite chips, or a side salad. Of course, feel free to use your favorite bread of choice as well.

WHAT IS THE BEST STEAK FOR STEAK SANDWICHES?

Ideally, when making steak sandwiches, you want a cut of meat that has a good balance of lean meat and fat. Depending what type of sandwich you’re making, there are a handful of cuts that could work well. A few of those include ribeye, flank or skirt steak, NY strip, or sirloin.

No matter the cut you choose, be sure to season well and slice, thinly, against the grain.

IS CHIMICHURRI HEALTHY?

Yes! Chimichurri is a great sauce/marinade, that is filled with antioxidant-rich, vitamin-filled, herbs, oil and vinegar, which makes it a healthy addition to any sandwich, dish, spread, etc. When buying from the store, I’d recommend taking a second to check out the ingredient list to make sure you can grab one that’s not filled with unnecessary additives and inflammatory oils. It’s also super easy to make at home!
