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 (kitazawaseed.com). 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
