Ingredients

🥩 1.5 kg "Guachalomo" beef thinly sliced (chuck roll/sirloin butt)
🧂 2 tablespoons of salt plus extra to taste (generic)
🧄 3 cloves of garlic crushed
🫒 2 tablespoons of cooking oil (generic)
💧 2 cups of water
🥬 1 kg of green beans cut into flat pieces (Frutos del Maipo)
🍞 8 round bread buns similar to "pan frica"
🍅 3 medium-sized tomatoes sliced
🥑 3 avocados mashed
🥄 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise (generic)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Beef:

• Trim and slice the "Guachalomo" beef into thin pieces. Remove excessive fat and membranes.
• On a cutting board, pound each beef slice tender with a wooden pestle.

2- Season the Beef:

• Crush garlic with a pinch of salt using a mortar and pestle to make a paste.
• Rub the garlic paste over the beef pieces. Let the meat rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

3- Cook the Green Beans:

• Place green beans in a red pot and cover with water. Add 2 tablespoons of salt.
• Boil for 10 minutes, then drain using a yellow plastic colander.

4- Sear and Pressure Cook the Beef:

• Heat cooking oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Sear beef slices for approximately 5 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary.
• Transfer seared beef to a pressure cooker, add water, and pressure cook for 30 minutes until tender.

5- Prepare Bread and Toppings:

• Warm sandwich buns in the oven.
• Slice tomatoes and mash avocados to a creamy consistency.

6- Assemble the Sandwich:

• Slice a warm bread bun horizontally and layer with cooked beef.
• Add a layer of green beans, then the sliced tomatoes, followed by mashed avocado.
• Finish with a dollop of mayonnaise before placing the top half of the bun.
