A watermelon radish is, on first glance, a plain greenish-white root. But slice it open and it reveals a stunning fuchsia interior. They're also known as red-meat or beauty-heart radishes, and you can find seeds at Kitazawa Seed Company ( ). For this sandwich, we took a a classic combination-radishes and butter-and paired them with steak for a juicy, crunchy sandwich. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 large garlic clove |
1 pound flank steak |
4 ounces butter, at room temperature |
2 teaspoons chopped chives |
8 slices caraway rye bread |
baby arugula leaves |
2 watermelon radishes, peeled and thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Put oil, garlic, and steak in a medium bowl and turn to coat. Let marinate 20 minutes at room temperature. Mix together butter and chives; set aside.
2. Prepare grill for high heat (450° to 550°). Grill meat, turning once, until grill marks appear and meat is cooked the way you like, 8 minutes for medium rare. Cover with foil and let rest 10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
3. Spread one side of bread slices with butter mixture. Layer 4 slices with arugula, some sliced steak, and slices of radish. Top with remaining bread slices.
