Ingredients
Fraldinha Steak Sandwich:
- 1 large Fraldinha steak (flank steak), ideally well-marbled and thick
- Bread of choice (preferably crusty baguette or soft ciabatta)
For the Sauce:
- 500 ml beef broth (reduced to approximately 100 ml)
- 40 g fresh cream
- 25 g butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grill the Fraldinha:
- Start by ensuring your Fraldinha steak is properly cleaned and thick enough to retain juiciness.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak, flipping occasionally, until nicely charred on the outside yet juicy and tender inside. Allow to rest briefly after grilling.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a saucepan, reduce the beef broth from 500 ml to about 100 ml over medium heat.
- Once reduced, add the fresh cream and butter, stirring until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Slice your grilled Fraldinha steak thinly, against the grain for optimal tenderness.
- Place slices generously onto your chosen bread and drizzle the prepared sauce on top.
Tips for Success
- Select a thicker piece of Fraldinha steak for maximum juiciness.
- Always let the steak rest before slicing to keep all the flavorful juices inside.
- Adjust the creaminess of the sauce to your preference by varying the amount of cream and butter.
