Churrasco sandwiches are popular in Latinamerica. You can expect delicious hearty bread (think more baguette roll than brioche) and thin steaks perfectly cook. Other fillings vary by country and restaurant.
My heart is permanently divided between the beef Churrasco Sandwich or the version with pork, The Lomito. the solution is an easy one, always to go accompanied to eat and share half and half, but when making them at home, what to do? I still don’t know….
Sandwiches are so rooted in our Chilean culture that I do not even remember when it was the first time I tried one. And the truth is that before coming to the United States, I always ate them at coffee shops and restaurants, never when visiting with friends or made by my family. Completos, the Chilean hotdogs, are more frequently a homemade affair.
During my college years, it was my preferred choice for lunch, before or after a hard test. I love them so much.
In Argentina, Churrasco sandwiches are usually topped with chimichurri sauce.
Other Churrasco Sandwiches combinations popular in Chile:
- Chemilico (Churrasco, caramelized onion, and sunny side egg).
- Chacarero (Churrasco, tomato and green beans).
- Barros Luco (Churrasco and melted cheese).
- Churrasco con ensalada chilena (tomato, onions).
