Chacarero Chileno
On paper, the chacarero chileno sandwich seems...weird. Grilled beef, sliced tomato, and cooked green beans. But when done properly, it works. Prove it to yourself by trying this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound skirt steak, cut into thin strips
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans or canned beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 crusty rolls, split in half lengthwise
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices avocado or guacamole
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add beans and cook until tender (they should be slightly softer than al dente), about 4 minutes. Drain beans and run under cold water to halt cooking. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add peperoncini and their liquid and toss to combine. Set aside at room temperature.
