Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the onion into thin rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Rub the marinade onto the thin sliced sirloin steak evenly and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated sirloin steak.

  2. 5

    Cook the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 6

    In the last minute of cooking, add the sliced onions to the grill or skillet, allowing them to soften and caramelize slightly.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 7

    While the steak and onions are cooking, slice the tomato and avocado.

  2. 8

    Toast the slices of French or Cuban bread lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  3. 9

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread.

  4. 10

    Layer the cooked steak and onions on two slices of the prepared bread.

  5. 11

    Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices.

  6. 12

    Add hot sauce to taste, then place the remaining slices of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
