- To add an extra layer of flavor, marinate the beef slices in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before assembling the Guardanapos.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Serve the Guardanapos with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious chimichurri sauce.
