Steak Sandwiches: Tortas
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 (1/2-pound) flank steak, pounded flat to 3 by 4 by 1/8 inches
- 1 French bread roll
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 avocado, cut into 4 slices
- 1/2 tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mesclun greens
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pickled jalapeno
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil.
- In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
- In another shallow bowl, put the bread crumbs.
- Dip the beef in the egg, then in bread crumbs, carefully coating both sides.
- Saute the meat in the hot oil until the bread crumbs are browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove the meat from the oil, but keep the skillet and oil warm.
- Cut the meat into 1/2-inch strips.
- Cut the roll in half lengthwise and pull out the soft center from both sides.
- Cover the bottom side with mayonnaise and beef strips.
- Place 4 ripe avocado slices on the other side and spread the slices, like a thick butter.
- Layer 4 slices of tomato on top of the beef and cover with a mound of mixed greens, some sliced onion, and the pickled jalapeno.
- Put the torta back in the skillet and brown the roll, pressing down with a spatula.
- When brown on both sides, cut and serve.
