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.
