Argentine-style Grilled Alberta Beef Sandwich

Time: 30 Minutes Serves: 4

We’re excited to work with Chef Connie DeSousa and Chef John Jackson of charbar in Calgary, AB who created this delicious beef sandwich recipe!

“Butcher cuts are the best cuts of steak. Ask your butcher and explore the different secret cuts of beef. This recipe is the home version of our butcher cut at our restaurant, charbar, inspired by our travels in Argentina. Now everyone can enjoy it anytime of the year. But I think you all agree a Canada Day BBQ is best!”

Optional Sidebar: The Flat Iron is a secret butcher cut located on the shoulder blade. When connective tissue is removed this is a tender and delicious steak great for grilling or frying. Impress your local butcher and ask them for some flat iron steaks.
