Steak

Cabbage Slaw

Avocado Tomatillo Salsa

Chipotle Aioli

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cabbage Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Toss until well combined and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Avocado Tomatillo Salsa Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, mix together diced avocado, chopped tomatillos, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently fold to combine and set aside.

Chipotle Aioli Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced chipotle, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread a generous amount of chipotle aioli on the bottom half, followed by sliced steak, cabbage slaw, crumbled cotija cheese, and a spoonful of avocado tomatillo salsa. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
