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.

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.
