As you may have seen in the photograph, the sandwich Barros Luco It is a hearty sandwich, made with three beef fillets and a lot of melted cheese, all stuffed into a soft bread roll, previously toasted so that it is crunchy and holds the load well.
This delicious snack was invented by Chilean President Ramón Barros Luco, who used to order it at Confitería Torres in the city of Santiago de Chile. This mixture of meat and cheese became so popular that it soon spread throughout the country, becoming popular even in Argentina, where this “sandwich“like Barroluco.
Normally the marraqueta, a local variety of bread, and failing that, a hamburger bun-type bread. We have used one of those buns of hamburger with the upper part divided into four with the cross, so that it resembled the original marraqueta.
We put a cooking plate on the fire for a few minutes so that it is very hot, and We brown the previously dried and seasoned fillets in it.. Butter or oil can be used for this part of the recipe, depending on preference.
Once the fillets are well browned on both sides, we cover each one with a slice of cheese or even more if you prefer, letting them melt with the remaining heat. You can use Havarti, Cheddar or any variety of cheese that melts easily.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the bread opened in half. We stack the fillets to form a tower and in the free space left on the grill, we place the breads to collect the juices released by the meatthus impregnating itself with its flavor.
We assemble the sandwich putting the cheese steaks between the toasted breads thus forming the Barros Luco, which we serve immediately to enjoy at a good temperature, with the melting cheese.
