BEEF SANDWICH ON NAAN BREAD

beef sandwich on naan bread

Hello friends! Happy Saturday! The weekend is finally here, and that means I am cooking something meaty. How about a sandwich on a soft naan bread with juicy beef, yogurt sauce and tomato-cucumber salsa? Yes, please.

I love naan bread. It is really versatile and tasty. I have made attempts at baking it myself, but it’s just reminded me that I am not a baker, so I like store bought naan better. The brand I particularly like is Stonefire, and the bread is called Tandoor baked naan with garlic flavor. I buy it from Walmart and I am pretty sure you can find it at your local Walmart too. They also have delicious ciabatta rolls that I used in my Mushroom Burger recipe.

When choosing beef I suggest buying Loin or Sirloin which are the most delicate cuts of beef. Plus, the process of marinating will make it even softer, so you won't be disappointed. These kinds of cuts are usually sold as a steak, so you can slice them yourself. I usually cut them into ¼ thin slices.

Enjoy the sandwiches and have a wonderful weekend, friends!
