Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Skirt Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Add the skirt steak, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pickled Veg

    In a small bowl, combine the sliced cucumber and chopped cilantro. Set aside for later use.

  3. 3

    Make the Chile Mayo

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise and minced chipotle peppers until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skirt Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the bread rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of chile mayo on each side. Layer with sliced skirt steak, pickled veg, and additional cilantro if desired. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
