Made this sandwich per recipe instructions. Glorious! This time of year I only had vine ripe tomatoes but still delicious. My husband ate two! Will be making again. Thanks for the keeper.

Looks absolutely delicious Suzanne! I love flank steak but I guess you already know that!! :) I could eat that entire sandwich... I got some heirloom tomatoes yesterday at the Farmers Market that would be great on this sandwich too!

Truly fantastic and perfect for a crowd. I add extra fresh herbs and vinegar, inspired by AntoniaJames and marinade for two days - delicious. Have made it many times just for the two of us and also for friends and family. Love it so.

Made this last night. Loved it. Very easy. My husband said he would order this at a restaurant.

This sounds SO delicious! Again, I have made flank steak sandwiches but never marinated it with chimichurri... I will be making this soon!

Should have been a no-brainer as much as I make steak with chimichurri yet it apparently never crossed my mind. I now have a recipe I can't wait to try...thank you.

I added my left over arugula as lettuce in this sandwich, other than that I made this recipe as instructed. So Good!

This was a hit for dinner Friday night, including with skeptical kids who gobbled the chimichurri. Thanks!

I made this for dinner tonight. The steak was delicious and tender. I also put the chimichurri on some Portobello mushrooms and grilled them with the steak - YUM!

Hi Bevi! I just found this recipe and was wondering how replacing the flank steak with portobellos would work out...sounds like it's a winner. Thanks!

Fantastic! I'm planning on making this for my boyfriend's birthday this weekend and I think he's really going to like it. He's a meat-lover but I think marinated portobellos and tofu will be perfect replacements. Thanks so much for the recipe, Suzanne.

Portobello update! I marinated sliced portobello mushrooms (3 large) in the chimichurri sauce for approximately 5 hours and then pan-fried them in a little oil and WOW. The sandwich came out wonderfully. Meaty, with great texture and loads of flavor. That chimichurri recipe is delicious and I'm excited to make more of that mayo and slather it on my sandwiches this week. Here's a link to a (not-so-great) photo I took of my sandwich last night. Thanks so much for the inspiration and tips! http://instagram.com/p/l5-YtJKgXW/

Best. Sandwich. Ever! Made it for dinner last night. I have quite a bit of chimichurri left over, so next time, will douse the steaks more liberally.

Just want to add that I swirled some leftover chimichurri (draining it a bit with the fork I used to dig it out of the jar) into an omelet with a touch of Fontina. Outstanding! It's my new favorite quick meal. This recipe is a game changer, no doubt about it. ;o)

Served the flank steak, marinaded for two days and grilled, for our mozzarella potluck last night, with boulangere's Italian boule, shaped into ciabatte, for sandwiches. I used a bit more red wine vinegar than called for. I had about 1/4 cup of the chimichurri made at the time I started the marinade, to which I added a half cup of freshly chopped parsley, and topped off with a couple of hefty glugs of the outstanding California Olive Oil arbequina we had on hand, right before serving with the sliced steak. So, so delicious! My herbs are in a rapid growth/production phase, so I couldn't help myself, and added about 1/2 cup chopped Italian oregano (mild, like a cross between Greek oregano and marjoram), marjoram and Greek oregano to the marinade (which was doubled, as I cooked two steaks for the party). I highly recommend this. I'll post a photo or two to Twitter and Facebook, later today. ;o)

Hi, Bevi! I sent sdebrango a good photo of the steak, sliced, which she is going to post. I am trying to figure out why photos sent from my iPad are inverted 180 degrees . . . . I have a shot of the steak just after putting them on the grill. It's not as good due to the evening shadows, but I'll send it to sdebrango anyway, later today. (I'm in the office today until I make substantial progress on two urgent client projects.) ;o)

oh, and the leftover chimichurri/mayo mix was a wonderful alternative to ranch dip for veggies!

Used the really tasty chimichurri + mayo combination from this recipe on fried catfish fillets, prepared exactly as instructed in Sam1148's finalist recipe this week. To die for!! (I highly recommend that fish, by the way. It was hands-down the best fried fish I've ever made.) ;o)

sdebrango, we made the steak on the grill this weekend with jose andres wrinkled potatoes. the steak was divine--and the chimichurri took it to new heights. in fact my foodie guest texted the next day to say "outstanding food--may i have the recipe." so now he will become a big fan of yours as well. p.s. also used the leftovers to make your sandwiches the next day for girlfriends at work--another huge success. thank you and congrats!

I served this steak over the weekend, standing alone and not on sandwiches, for a casual dinner party, with just some good corn on the cob and some grilled veggies, also marinated in some chimichurri, alongside. Perfect!! ;o)

Made this! We didn't quite get to put it in the sandwich (I hadn't bought enough rolls, as it turned out) , but ate with the chimichurri as a dip with the sliced steak and a huge German Striped tomato from the Farmers Market. Scrumptious. The Youngest finished her plate (several times), made puppy eyes and said, "I love you, Mommy."

Absolutely delicious. The bright flavors work perfectly together, and the sandwiches are a snap to prepare. Great recipe!

Un bocata así siempre está bueno, yo utilizo mucho el chimichurri. Os dejo una receta, por si os gusta. Bocadillo muy español, se llama serranito. http://lospucheritosdeinma.blogspot.com/2011/03/serranito-de-lomo.html
Espero que os guste, saludos.

Have a lot of flat leaf parsley, finally made this....DELICIOUS! I am not a big arugula fan, so used some garden spinach and added a little crushed pink peppercorn for an extra peppery bite.

What a terrific sandwich! It has instantly become a family favorite. Two weeks ago, I would not have thought I'd ever be this enthusiastic about a steak sandwich. Now everyone here is asking when we're going to make this again (when we last had it less than 48 hours ago). Congratulations!! ;o)

As good as anything I tasted in the corner parillas in the Belgrano District of Buenos Aires. That says a lot. Great sandwich, well deserving of the win.

With tomatoes also coming into season right now, this is on my must-try list. I wish I could reach through the computer and grab the sandwich from the photo!

By the way, we made this using thick slices of my “Everyday Potato Bread” (posted here) which I baked last night. It was perfect! Between all the appreciative “Mmmmm” sounds at the table were heard the words, “killer” and “best sandwich ever,” from the younger generation. ;o)

Incidentally, we made this using thick slices from a loaf of my "Everyday Potato Bread" (posted here) which I baked last night. It was perfect! Between all the "mmmmm" sounds of food-eating pleasure at the table, I detected "killer" and " best sandwich ever" from the younger generation. ;o)

Made these today for lunch. I used our panini press to make the "Texas toast." The sandwiches were a huge hit! This recipe is a keeper, for sure. In fact, my family agreed that this is one of the best food52 recipes ever (and we've tried scores, if not hundreds, of them in the nearly 2 years that I've been active here). ;o) P.S. I ended up marinating the beef for about 24 hours, due to scheduling constraints. The steak was simply to-die-for!!

Congratulations sdebrango, very tasty indeed, although I didn't have the Texas bread, I chose a brioche loaf. Very very good.

Texas toast is kind of like a fried egg - it makes everything that much better. Great recipe, and congrats!

I picked this because it can be cooked outdoors with a charcoal grill in a single step. Grilled asparagus (not traditionally Mexican) and brown rice will be a yummy meal. The Cuban bbq is pretty tasty and will probably be even better the next day because it's been "fried" and meant to be dryer. The cumin flavor once infused will be really good with all the sides mentioned in the recipe.
