Bocadillo de ternera

Bocadillo de ternera is one of the classic meat-based varieties of the Spanish bocadillo sandwich, consisting of a sliced bread loaf and veal steak. The sandwich is typically made with a Spanish-style baguette (barra de pan) or a ciabatta that has been cut in half lengthwise and filled with a slice of grilled or fried veal. Other common additions to the sandwich’s filling include slices of crispy-fried Serrano ham, fried green peppers, onions, slices of cheese, tomato slices or sauce, and lettuce. The cut sides of the bread are often drizzled with olive oil or slathered with mayonnaise, mustard, or butter, while the bread may also get slightly toasted to make it crispier. In Valencia, a brascada is a type of veal bocadillo sandwich that’s usually made with veal fillets, slices of Serrano ham, and grilled or sautéed onions.
