Barros Luco Sandwich

Indulge in the authentic flavors of Chile with the classic Barros Luco sandwich. This beloved creation unites tender beef, creamy cheese with a golden crust, and freshly toasted marraqueta bread. It's a delightful combination that perfectly captures the spirit of Chilean street food.

Ingredients

🥩 0.6 kg Asiento Beef
🥖 4 Marraquetas Bread
🧄 1 clove Garlic
🧀 320g Queso Mantecoso Melty Cheese
🌿 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
🧂 Salt
🌶️ Pepper

Instructions

1- Prepare the Beef:

• Freeze the asiento beef for 30 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.
• Remove from the freezer; on a clean cutting board, slice the beef into thin steaks (churrascos) against the grain.
• Tenderize the beef by gently pounding each steak using the flat side of a knife or bottle.

2- Cook the Meat and Cheese:

• Heat a large carbon steel frying pan over high heat.
• Add vegetable oil to the pan and a lightly crushed garlic clove to infuse flavor.
• Season the beef with salt and pepper, and quickly sear each steak until browned.
• Place 80g slices of queso mantecoso near or under each steak to melt and form a crust.
• Flip to lightly brown the cheese side and keep warm.

3- Prepare the Bread and Assemble:

• Halve the marraquetas and toast the inside surfaces in the pan to absorb meat and cheese juices.
• Remove the toasted bread; place the steak and cheese on the bottom halves.
• Top with remaining bread halves, press gently to combine.
• Serve immediately; slice in half if desired.

Cooking Tips

• Freezing the Beef helps create uniform thin slices by firming the meat.
• Garlic Infusion adds a subtle aromatic touch to the cooking oil without overpowering.
• Cheese Crust ensures a flavorful, crispy layer by melting cheese with beef juices.
• Gentle Assembly prevents the soft bread from breaking, preserving texture and flavor.
