Churrasco, Chilean Sandwich

Versión en español

In Chile, bread is king, delicious, plentiful and cheap. We eat it alone, with our meals o as a “sanguches” (Chilean for the sandwich), this Churrasco is one of the foundational ones.

This month in the BRBC the challenge is to bring back a traditional Chilean Sanguche. I chose the Chilean Churrasco: just a good steak grilled or pan-seared with a delicious Chilean salad (tomato and onions). Glorious!
