About the Recipe
Summer time is a great time for a delicious steak sandwich! One of my chef tips for a great steak sandwich is to choose the right steak. I start by buying BC Beef, like from Aurora View Farms, and in doing so I support BC ranchers, their families and the communities that raise premium quality beef.
My other tip is to choose secondary cuts for your favourite steak sandwich, or steak salad. Secondary cuts are often more affordable and help the ranchers utilize the entire animal aiding in sustainable farming practices for the ranching family by using and valuing the entire animal. My choices for secondary cuts perfect for this steak sandwich are: - Flat iron - Flank - Sirloin - Culotte - Tri Tip When properly prepared, portioned, marinated and cooked they may just be your next favourite cut of BC beef. Make sure to head to your meat counter and ask the butcher, ‘hey, what's your favourite cut today’? and ask them how best to cook it.

4-5 ounces of BC beef per person

1 tbsp grainy mustard
1 tbsp horseradish
1 tbsp fine sliced chives

Grab a 1 lb each of zucchini and tomatoes and slice thin. Dress with extra virgin olive oil and some of your favorite vinegar Season with salt and pepper and some fresh garden herbs
Steak:
Season the steak with salt and pepper
