Grilled Steak Sandwiches With Chimichurri and Bell Peppers

Ingredients

• 1 cup packed fresh Italian parsley
• 1 cup packed fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
• 2/3 cup olive oil, plus
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 large bell peppers, cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips (preferably 1 red and 1 yellow)
• 24 ounces rib eye steaks
• 4 sourdough bread, demi-baguettes halved horizontally

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine first 6 ingredients in processor; add 2/3 cup oil and puree until almost smooth. Season chimichurri with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Brush pepper strips, steaks, and cut side of bread with remaining 1/4 cup oil. Sprinkle peppers and steaks with salt and pepper. Grill peppers until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill bread, cut side down, until beginning to brown lightly, about 2 minutes. Thinly slice steaks crosswise; divide among bread bottoms. Spoon chimichurri over steak (about 1/4 cup per sandwich), then top with pepper strips. Cover with bread tops and serve.

3. 3

   Recipe Remix:. Toss any remaining chimichurri sauce with potato wedges and roast in 400°F oven until just tender, about 40 minutes.
