Hummus veggie sandwich has been my jam lately, especially when I want fast and healthy lunch. This simple sandwich packs a lot of flavor and nutrition, making it ideal for an easy weekday meal. You can use just about any vegetables you like. I found that a variety of soft and crunchy vegetables is the key to delicious flavor and texture.
The hummus and avocado serve as a base for the sandwich and also provide protein and fiber. Add a generous amount of both so the sandwich is not dry. I like to use whole wheat 7-grain bread for its wonderful texture but any bakery-style bread will work.
Steaks: You can use different cuts of beef such as flank steak, skirt steak, sirloin, or even grilled chicken or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
Chimichurri Sauce: While traditional Chimichurri sauce is made with parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil, and red pepper flakes, you can customize it by using cilantro instead of parsley, adding different herbs like oregano or basil, adjusting the amount of garlic or red pepper flakes for spiciness, or using lemon juice instead of vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile.
Bread: Instead of using traditional sandwich bread, you can use ciabatta, baguette, focaccia, or even tortillas for a wrap-style sandwich.
Cheese: While not traditionally included in steak Chimichurri sandwiches, you can add cheese such as provolone, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for extra flavor. Or omit it altogether for a dairy-free option.
Vegetables: You can add or substitute various vegetables such as roasted bell peppers, caramelized onions, avocado slices, or tomato slices to add freshness and texture to your sandwiches.
Fun fact: Chimichurri sauce is a condiment, similar to pesto, made with finely chopped herbs, garlic, oil, vinegar, and spices. It’s mostly used in Argentinian cuisines. Chimichurri sauce is delicious on anything grilled, but also works great on simply steamed vegetables and roasted meats.Steaks: By keeping these tips in mind, you can select a steak that will be perfect for making delicious Chimichurri sandwiches.
Cut: Choose a cut of steak that is suitable for grilling or pan-searing, as these methods will give you the best flavor and texture. Popular cuts for sandwiches include flank steak, skirt steak, sirloin, or even ribeye if you prefer a richer flavor.
Marbling: Look for steaks with good marbling, which is the intramuscular fat that gives steak its tenderness and flavor. A moderate amount of marbling ensures juiciness and flavor without being overly fatty.
Thickness: Opt for steaks that are about 1/2 to 1 inch thick for sandwiches. Thicker steaks may take longer to cook and can be more challenging to slice thinly for sandwiches.
Freshness: Choose steaks that are bright red in color with minimal browning or discoloration. Avoid steaks that have a strong odor, as this could indicate spoilage.Grade: While not always necessary for sandwiches, you may consider the grade of the steak. Prime-grade steaks have the highest level of marbling and tenderness, followed by choice-grade and select-grade steaks.
Source: Whenever possible, opt for steaks from reputable sources, such as local butchers or trusted suppliers, to ensure quality and freshness.
Budget: Consider your budget and choose a steak that fits within your price range. While premium cuts like ribeye or filet mignon may be more expensive, you can still achieve great flavor with more affordable cuts like flank or skirt steak when cooked properly.
Marbling on steak refers to the distribution of intramuscular fat within the muscle fibers, enhancing flavor, tenderness, and juiciness when cooked.
