Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Ready in under 20 minutes
• Big, bold flavours with a Brazilian BBQ twist
• A crowd-pleasing alternative to the traditional French dip
• Perfect pairing with a cold beer

Ingredients

• 2 x thin steak slices (120–150g each – butcher’s cut is best)
• 1 tbsp Street BBQ Brazilian seasoning
• 1 crusty French baguette (soft inside, crispy crust)
• 2 tbsp soft butter
• 1 jar horseradish
• ½ bunch fresh watercress, washed
• 1 serving of peppercorn sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Extra virgin olive oil, for coating

Instructions

1. Prep the Steak: Rub the steak slices with olive oil and generously season with the Street BBQ Brazilian seasoning. Let sit while you prep the bread and sauce.

1. Warm the Sauce: Heat your peppercorn sauce in a small pot over low to medium heat until warmed through.
2. Toast the Baguette: Slice the baguette lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden and crisp.
   
   
   
3. Grill the Steak: Cook the steak in a hot pan or grill (like our friends at FIRENACE) for 2–3 minutes per side. Let it rest on a plate, keeping the meat juices.
4. Assemble: Butter both baguette halves. Spread horseradish on the top half. Lay steak on the bottom half, drizzle with some peppercorn sauce and meat juices, then top with watercress.
5. Serve: Close the sandwich, cut into 4–5 pieces, and serve with warm peppercorn sauce for dipping. Pair with a cold beer for full effect!

Tips for the Best Steak Sandwich

• Use a fresh baguette with a crusty exterior for the best texture
• Rest the steak before slicing to retain juices
• Add cheese (like provolone or Swiss) for an extra indulgent layer
• Swap horseradish for mustard mayo if preferred

What to Serve with This Sandwich

• Crispy fries or potato wedges
• Pickles or homemade coleslaw
• Grilled vegetables or corn on the cob
• And of course, an icy cold beer 🍺
