Cookbook:Chivito (Uruguayan Beef Sandwich)

This article was based on an article in the Greek version of Wikibooks.

Ingredients

 * Loaf of bread
 * Butter
 * 2 leaves of lettuce
 * 1 egg
 * 1 churasco (beef skirt steak), sliced thin
 * 1 pepper
 * Ketchup (optional)
 * Mayonnaise (optional)
 * Mustard (optional)

Procedure

 * 1) Cut the loaf of bread lengthwise and put in a warm place.
 * 2) Cook the beef in a hot frying pan with a little oil.
 * 3) Season beef with salt and pepper.
 * 4) Fry the egg alongside the beef or in another frying pan. The yolk should be well cooked (not runny).
 * 5) Spread a little mayo on both sides of cut bread. Top with the beef, the fried egg, a couple of lettuce leaves, and the tomato slices.
 * 6) Top with ketchup or mustard to taste.
 * 7) Cover with the other half of the bread loaf. Serve hot.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Chivito Canadiense: This is a variation which adds a couple of slice of a cold cut called "Lomito Canadiense" which is a cured pork sirloin which might be on the sweetish side if cured with honey. A couple of slices are heated in the frying pan together with the beef and egg and towered before adding the lettuce and tomato.
 * "Chivito Al Plato" includes all the above ingredients except for the bread. Everything is piled on a plate and eaten with a knife and fork instead as sandwiched in a bread loaf. Some add a few pickled vegetables (cucumber, carrot, etc).
