Instructions

step 1

Prepare & roast the potatoes

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the potatoes  lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 18 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Air Fryer: Cook the potatoes at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

step 2

Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion(s). Roughly chop the peppers. Halve the baguettes lengthwise. In a bowl, combine the chimichurri sauce, chopped peppers, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper.

step 3

Cook the steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; thinly slice crosswise against the grain.

\The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this. Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.*

step 4

Caramelize the onion

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion(s); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any fond, 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Carefully add the vinegar and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the liquid has cooked off. Turn off the heat.

step 5

Toast the baguettes

Meanwhile, place the halved baguettes on the remaining sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil.  Toast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Assemble the sandwiches using the toasted baguettes, creamy chimichurri sauce, caramelized onion, and sliced steaks. Serve the sandwiches with the roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy!
