Chemilico Sandwich

Indulge in the rich flavors of Chile with this exquisite Chemilico sandwich! Combining thinly sliced tenderized beef, caramelized onions, and a perfectly fried egg, all nestled within the lightly toasted marraqueta bread, this dish is a testament to the harmonious blend of simple yet impactful ingredients.

Ingredients

🥩 350g lean beef steak, Corte Criollo
🥖 Marraqueta, traditional Chilean bread
🧅 1-2 medium onions, thinly sliced
🥚 2 eggs
🛢️ Cooking oil
🧂 Salt
🌶️ A pinch of Merquén, KANGKAWE

Instructions

1- Prepare the Beef:

• Unpack the Corte Criollo beef. Trim off any excess fat or membrane.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the beef thinly against the grain, then tenderize each slice with a metal meat mallet until approximately 2-3 mm thick.

2- Caramelize the Onions:

• Peel and thinly slice the onions.
• In a small stainless steel pot, heat a drizzle of oil over low heat.
• Add the onions, a pinch of salt, and Merquén. Stir occasionally and caramelize for about 1.5 hours. If needed, add a splash of water to prevent drying and burning.

3- Cook the Beef and Eggs:

• Preheat a STARLUX griddle over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil.
• Place beef slices on the griddle and season with salt. Cook until one side is seared and browned, then flip and cook briefly until medium or medium-well.
• Using the same griddle, add more oil if needed, and fry eggs until the whites are set and yolks remain runny. Season with salt.
• Toast the marraqueta bread on the griddle, absorbing meat juices.

4- Assemble the Chemilico:

• Start with a toasted marraqueta half on a serving board.
• Layer on the churrasco beef, followed by caramelized onions.
• Gently place a fried egg on top. Cap with the other half of the bread.
• Repeat for additional sandwiches.
