Ingredients

• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 pcs Beef fillet
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Wine vinegar
• to taste Parsley
• 2 pcs Ciabatta
• 2 pcs Arugula
• to taste Basil leaves
• to taste Parsley
• 1 pcs Jalapeño
• 1 tbsp Vinegar
• 2 pcs Green onions
• 0.5 clove Garlic
• 0.5 tsp Cane sugar

Instructions

1. Rub the steaks with garlic. Place them in a resealable bag, add olive oil, wine vinegar, and parsley stems. Seal the bag, mix the contents thoroughly, then pound the steaks several times with a rolling pin to tenderize the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.
2. Prepare the green sauce: place basil leaves, parsley, jalapeño, vinegar, green onions, garlic, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water in a blender. Blend until you reach a smooth consistency. You will have more sauce than needed for this recipe, but it keeps for a week in an airtight jar.
3. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Remove the garlic and parsley stems from the steaks, season generously with salt and pepper. Cook the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate. Place the ciabatta halves on the plate cut-side down to absorb the meat juices.
4. Slice the steaks and place them in the rolls with green sauce and arugula. Serve immediately.
