recipe cooking "breaded steak" "steak sandwich" "el yucateco"

Is it possible to improve upon the traditional Chicago breaded steak sammich (sandwich)? Absolutely, it is!
With a marinara made from San Marzano tomatoes, fresh garden herbs, and a special ingredient (see below), I made a better version of the original! Recipe below. #ChicagoBreadedSteakSandwich
