Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef sirloin — For the best results, choose a tender cut of beef and slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Provolone cheese — Feel free to substitute with your favorite meltable cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Soft sandwich buns — Look for buns that are sturdy enough to hold the juicy steak and cheese without becoming soggy.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the tangy sauce.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the marinade.
- To make it a complete meal, serve the Barros Luco - Atlanta Style sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries or coleslaw.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steak on a stovetop grill pan or in a regular frying pan.
- Customize your sandwich by adding sliced avocado or pickles for additional texture and flavor.
Serving advice
