Smoky Chimichurri Steak Sandwich

Smoky, herby, and stacked with attitude, this Chimichurri Steak Sandwich brings big, bold flavor to every bite. Juicy Heritage Shaved Ribeye gets tossed in a punchy parsley chimichurri, layered with sweet caramelized onions and a bright, peppery arugula-Parmesan mix. A swipe of smoky paprika mayo seals the deal, all piled onto crispy toasted ciabatta. It’s rich, fresh, and just messy enough to mean business.
