Sándwich de Vacío a la Parrilla

Cultural Context

Originating from Argentina, the Sándwich de Vacío a la Parrilla is a beloved street food that showcases the country's rich grilling traditions. The dish features flank steak, known locally as vacío, which is marinated and grilled to perfection, then served in crusty bread with fresh toppings. This sandwich is often enjoyed during weekend barbecues and is a staple in Argentinian cuisine, symbolizing the communal spirit of asados. Today, variations can be found in many countries, reflecting the global love for grilled meats and sandwiches.

ciabatta bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber while white bread is more economical.

flank steak

🥗Healthier: sirloin

💰Cheaper: chicken breast

Sirloin is leaner than flank, while chicken is a budget-friendly protein.

chimichurri sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa verde

💰Cheaper: homemade herb sauce

Salsa verde can be a lighter option, and homemade sauces can save costs.

1

Prepare a fire and wait until the coals are fully lit.

2

Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator in advance to reach room temperature before grilling.

3

About 10 minutes before grilling, season the steak with coarse salt on both sides, using approximately 300 grams of meat per sandwich.

4

If the steak has fat or skin, carefully remove it with a sharp knife.

5

Once the coals are ready, clean the grill and place the flank steak on the grill with the skin side down.

6

Ensure the heat is even but not too intense; check the temperature by holding your palm over the grill for 8 to 10 seconds.

7

Cook the steak on that side for one hour.

8

After one hour, flip the steak and cook for another 40 minutes on the other side.

9

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a bit before assembling the sandwich.

10

Assemble the sandwich using soft French bread, a bit of homemade mayonnaise or chimichurri, tomato, lettuce, and the grilled steak.
