Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• ground cayenne pepper to taste
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 pound sirloin steak
• 4 kaiser rolls, split
• 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
• 1 ounce crumbled cotija cheese
• oil for the grill
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup refried beans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Season steak with garlic salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Grill steak on the preheated grill until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat to a cutting board and cover with foil.

Step 3

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread both halves of each roll with mayonnaise. Brown the rolls, mayonnaise-side down, until golden, about 3 minutes. Warm the refried bean in a medium bowl in the microwave, about 1 minute on High. Slice sirloin steak against the grain into thin strips.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of beans on the bottom half of each roll. Layer with steak, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Top with cheese, if desired, and close the sandwich with the top of the roll.
