Flat Iron Tortas
Serves 4
Time 30 min
These Mexican-style grilled steak sandwiches are a great weeknight or cookout party option. Flat iron is a super-flavorful cut from the shoulder; it’s quite lean, so cook it no further than medium-rare to ensure that it’s tender and juicy.

Ingredients
- 1 pound flat iron (top blade) steak
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 chewy, crusty rolls, split

Method
Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking.
Season steak with salt and pepper and then grill, turning once or twice until browned and cooked to medium-rare, about 8 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes, then slice very thinly across the grain.
Pile steak on bottoms of rolls and top with lettuce, carrot, avocado and cilantro.
In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, lime juice and chopped jalapenos, and drizzle the mixture into the sandwiches.
Add more pickled jalapeno to the sandwiches if desired.
