This is the traditional Portuguese garlic steak sandwich, served in a papo seco roll.
Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves, 2 crushed, 1 split lengthways
2 small (about 150g each) rump steaks, all fat trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
a few flat-leaf parsley stalks
2 Portuguese rolls
Method:
Rub the garlic over the steaks then put in a sandwich bag and tip in the olive oil, sherry vinegar, minced garlic and parsley stalks. Smoosh everything together with your hands, then use a rolling pin to bash the steaks a few times. Set aside to marinate for 1-2 hours.
Heat a griddle or frying pan over high heat. Brush away the garlic and parsley stalks from the steaks and season well. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side then rest on a plate. Into the same pan add in the bread, cut side down. Allow it to toast for about one minute. Add in more olive oil if needed.
Put the bread halves onto the plate, toasted-side down, to soak up any juices.
Slice the steaks then stuff into the rolls then serve.
