Method

  1. Pat the ribeye steak dry, season both sides with salt, and set aside.

  2. Thinly slice the shallots and fry them in a generous layer of oil over medium heat until golden brown; drain on paper towels.

  3. Finely chop the parsley, shallot, and red pepper for the chimichurri, grate the garlic, and combine with the other chimichurri ingredients, adding extra virgin olive oil to taste.

  4. Make the sauce by mixing crème fraîche, mayonnaise, coarse Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper.

  5. Slice the cucumber very thin and toss with vinegar, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of salt, and fresh dill.

  6. Heat a pan over high heat with a splash of oil, pat the steak dry again, and sear both sides until the internal temperature reaches 113°F; optionally baste with butter, garlic, and herbs, then let rest briefly.

  7. Toast the baguette, slice the rested steak thinly, and assemble the sandwich: spread a layer of the crème fraîche sauce on the bread, add cucumber slices, steak strips, chimichurri, fried shallots, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

  8. Enjoy the steak sandwich while hot.
