Indulge in the authentic flavors of Chile with the classic Barros Luco sandwich. This beloved creation unites tender beef, creamy cheese with a golden crust, and freshly toasted marraqueta bread. It's a delightful combination that perfectly captures the spirit of Chilean street food.

Ingredients

🥩 0.6 kg Asiento Beef
🥖 4 Marraquetas Bread
🧄 1 clove Garlic
🧀 320g Queso Mantecoso Melty Cheese
🌿 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
🧂 Salt
🌶️ Pepper

Instructions

1- Prepare the Beef:

Freeze the asiento beef for 30 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.
Remove from the freezer; on a clean cutting board, slice the beef into thin steaks (churrascos) against the grain.
Tenderize the beef by gently pounding each steak using the flat side of a knife or bottle.

2- Cook the Meat and Cheese:

Heat a large carbon steel frying pan over high heat.
Add vegetable oil to the pan and a lightly crushed garlic clove to infuse flavor.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, and quickly sear each steak until browned.
Place 80g slices of queso mantecoso near or under each steak to melt and form a crust.
Flip to lightly brown the cheese side and keep warm.

3- Prepare the Bread and Assemble:

Halve the marraquetas and toast the inside surfaces in the pan to absorb meat and cheese juices.
Remove the toasted bread; place the steak and cheese on the bottom halves.
Top with remaining bread halves, press gently to combine.
Serve immediately; slice in half if desired.

Cooking Tips

Freezing the Beef helps create uniform thin slices by firming the meat.
Garlic Infusion adds a subtle aromatic touch to the cooking oil without overpowering.
Cheese Crust ensures a flavorful, crispy layer by melting cheese with beef juices.
Gentle Assembly prevents the soft bread from breaking, preserving texture and flavor.
