Steak Sando

My sandwich destination today was Brandon’s in Paddington. This one has been on my list for quite a while, but somehow I hardly ever make it past Surry Hills. Recently I’ve dropped my Saturday morning training though, so suddenly I have time to venture a little further.

Honestly, it feels like forever since I’ve been to Paddington. Must be a few years. Anyway... the sandwich.

There were actually a few things on the menu that caught my eye. The Morty has apricot jam, and you know I’m a sucker for a sweet-salty combo. Then there’s the Caesar (God knows I still haven’t jumped on the Chicken Caesar sandwich trend... maybe one day). But I ended up with their limited Steak Sando. Sorry guys, the word limited made me do it 😂

And it was a good choice. The rump steak was nicely cooked, quite lean and tender, with melty provolone adding a little richness. This one was definitely tang-forward, with the pickled onions and herby chimichurri doing most of the talking. It kept the whole thing feeling fresh and surprisingly light for a steak sando.

The sourdough was nicely buttered and toasted with a proper crunch. I sometimes find toasted sandwiches a bit too rich and heavy, but this one got the balance just right.

A proper good steak sandwich. I was quite satisfied with this one. Still... that apricot jam. Maybe next time
