Filet mignon sandwich with fried onions, Camembert, fried egg and chimichurri sauce

Ingredients:

Sandwich

• 2 filet mignon steaks, 280g each, cut into 5-6 round slices
• 4 Kaiser rolls
• 220 g Camembert, cut into 8 slices
• 4 large eggs

Tomato and onion salad

• 1 cup red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
• Half a red onion, thinly sliced
• Good quality olive oil for drizzling
• A little red wine vinegar
• A couple of basil leaves, thinly sliced

Chimichurri sauce

• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
• 1 Fresno pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
• Half a bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves finely chopped
• Half a white onion, finely diced
• Half a bunch of fresh parsley, leaves finely chopped
• A couple of sprigs of fresh oregano, leaves finely chopped
• 0.5 cups distilled white vinegar

Preparation:

1. Chimichurri sauce:
   
   In a blender, combine the olive oil, garlic, chili, cilantro, onion, parsley, and oregano; puree. Season with salt, then add the vinegar. Taste immediately before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed.
   
2. Salad of pickled tomatoes and onions:
   
   Place the tomatoes and onions in a bowl. Add a little olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and basil.
3. Fried onions:
   
   Grease a large skillet with olive oil, heat over medium heat, and add the onion. Season with salt and red pepper and cook over medium-high heat until the onion is soft and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Wipe the skillet dry with a paper towel, but do not wash it.
4. Preheat oven to grill mode.
5. Generously salt the beef. Coat the pan you fried the onions in with olive oil and place over high heat. The pan should be hot; the oil should almost be smoking. Fry the steaks a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for about 1 minute per side. Set the fried steaks aside and fry the remaining meat in the same manner.
6. Split the buns in half horizontally, scoop out the center, and toast them in the oven using the broiler setting. Arrange the steaks on the buns. Spread the fried onions evenly over the steaks, then drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Place two slices of Camembert on each sandwich and toast in the broiler setting until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
   
7. While the cheese is melting, grease a nonstick frying pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Top each sandwich with an egg and drizzle with chimichurri sauce.
8. Top the sandwiches with the bun tops, press down, grab some napkins, and enjoy. Serve with a tomato and onion salad.
