Chef Chuck's Steak Sandwich




Bistecca Panino


This ultimate steak sandwich melted in my mouth. Skirt steak is inexpensive, yet full of flavor and when thinly sliced it's so tender. I composed my sandwich with buttery parmigiano cheese, peppery arugula, grilled red onions and garden fresh tomatoes. The dressing was a light mist of extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar.

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon marjoram

Chef Chuck's Pasta and Arugula

This unique pasta dish has a peppery flavor from the arugula that pairs well with the nutty almond crunch. The soft texture of the potatoes helped to absorbed the salty anchovies, then topped with a creamy sheeps cheese,"pecorino".

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 whole garlic cloves
