Update and Redux: C – I wanted a pepper sandwich and I got a great one. This sandwich is still great. I can’t wait until padron peppers come back in season again and we make this sandwich. I have made this sauce using other types of chilies and they were delicious, too.
C – There’s a restaurant in the Sacramento area that I love for only two things.
Their steak sandwich with peppers and their tiramasu. I already made the tiramasu recipe. Now it’s time to make their steak sandwich. But, with a twist. It’s good, since I won’t be able to go eat there anytime soon.
I’ll be moving to San Francisco and won’t have time to eat there when I am in Sacramento.
This steak sandwich might be better than the sandwich at the restaurant, though. It’s not as spicy and won’t make me ask for water for the fourth time.
It’s a great flavor combination. I love the chimichurri sauce we made yesterday, and the pepperoncini peppers with medium rare steak and creamy. gooey cheese. It’s amazing.
The chimichurri sauce was a great moist-maker for the sandwich. No mayonnaise needed. I also love the crisp pepperoncini. We both loved it.
Jim only had one complaint … more meat.
Yeah, he was right. But I had to make the shot look good.
