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.
- Chimichurri sauce — If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chimichurri sauce used in the marinade.
- Provolone cheese — Feel free to substitute provolone with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
- Crusty rolls — Look for rolls with a crispy crust and a soft interior to complement the filling.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can sauté the onions and bell peppers until they are fully caramelized.
- To make it a complete meal, serve the Argentinian Cheesesteak with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as ciabatta or baguette, to add a unique twist to your sandwich.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made chimichurri sauce instead of making it from scratch.
Serving advice
Serve the Argentinian Cheesesteak hot, allowing the melted cheese to ooze over the tender beef and vegetables. Accompany it with a side of fries or a fresh salad for a satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, cut the Argentinian Cheesesteak into halves or quarters and serve them on a wooden board. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
