    Chivito: Steak Sandwich

    by Teri Lyn Fisher · Published: Jul 16, 2012 · Modified: Aug 7, 2020

    A recipe for a delicious Steak Sandwich. Chivito ingredients. Steak, ham, lettuce, bun, onions, and tomatoes. A close up of chivito with all the traditional layers.Lets talk about summer, and swimming. When I was kid I would go swim for hours and hours, and then order some awesome fried food and a sandwich from the snack shack. It was great. Pool food was always better when eaten after a good swim. If you ate pool food before swimming it was a mistake. First it would not taste as good, at all. I’m pretty sure being covered in pool water made things taste better. Second, if you ate pool food before you swam, you would have to wait like 45 minutes before going into the pool. That waiting game is horrible for a kid. I would usually get one of two things, a grilled cheese, or a steak sandwich, both with curly fries (because who are we kidding, curly fries are the best kind of fries ever.) So when Jenny made this sandwich, the first thing that came to my mind was pool time. This last weekend in LA it was gross and muggy and hot. Prime time pool time for sure. I advise bringing this steak sandwich to your next pool outing and digging in after a big swim. I hope you guys like this, my favorite part is the hard boiled egg, it really makes it!

      we don’t normally rub anything but salt on the meat, althoughyour recipe could be a nice interpretation.
      i recommend addying bacon and a slice of mozzarella on the meat, along with the ham, when you turn the meat, so that it melts. that’s called a “chivito canadiense” -don’t ask me why.
      the most important element is the meat, which must be very tender so you can tear it with your teeth. tenderloin is the way to go.
      i like throwing the onions on the grill and changing the mayo for mustard, but that’s just my taste.

      When I was in Argentina, I ordered a sandwich “completo” – and it came with a bunch of bonus items on top of whatever regular sandwich I had ordered: like 8 pieces of ham, a pile of (barely) bacon, a fried egg, and extreme avalanche mayo city. Also, I think you’re right about pool water.

      Despite it being a weirdly thunderstormy summer here, I’d devour this thing, pool weather or no pool weather.

      I love the mix of ham and steak on this guy! And the egg sounds like a cool topping. Basically I’d like to eat this after swimming for real. It’s been so hot and gross in Michigan too. Sandwiches like this are totes necessary.
