Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons salt, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds round steak ( 1/4 to 1/3-inch thick)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon pureed canned chipotle en adobo, with sauce
2 avocados, halved and pitted
6 bolillo rolls, focaccia rolls or other high-quality buns

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the sliced red onion in a strainer under cold running water. Pat it dry, place it in a bowl and cover it with the red wine vinegar. Set aside for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. 2. Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic with the salt to make a paste. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice and incorporate it into the garlic. Slowly add the olive oil, stirring with the pestle to incorporate it too. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, this can be done in a food processor. 3. Spoon the garlic mixture over the steak, spreading it with the back of a spoon. Season well with salt. Turn the meat over and do the same with the other side. 4. In another small bowl, use a spoon to beat together the mayonnaise, pureed chipotle and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. 5. Cut the pitted avocados into thin slices and carefully peel away the skin. 6. Grill the beef over high heat. If you're using round steak, cook about 3 minutes on the first side, then turn and cook 1 or 2 minutes more. The meat should be medium rare in the center. If you're using a thicker cut, leave the meat rarer in the center, cooking 6 or 7 minutes per side. Set the meat aside while you build the sandwiches. 7. Cut the rolls in half and spread with the chipotle mayonnaise, about 1 tablespoon for each half. Arrange the avocado slices on the top half of the roll, then add a couple of onion rings. 8. If you're using round steak, cut the meat into pieces roughly the size of the bread and arrange on top of the onion rings. If you're using a thicker cut, slice it thinly across the grain and then arrange it on the sandwich. Add the bottom half of the roll and press gently to compact everything together.

I'm not in the mood for a sandwich. I'm going to have a salad instead.

I don't have time to make this recipe. I'm just going to order a pizza.

This recipe sounds too complicated for me. I'll stick to my usual grilled cheese sandwiches.

I'm allergic to avocado, so I'll have to find a substitute.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I'll probably leave out the chipotle mayonnaise.

I'm not sure about the avocado, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I'm not usually a fan of carne asada, but these sandwiches were delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful, and the avocado and chipotle mayonnaise were the perfect complements.

These carne asada sandwiches were a hit at my last party! The chipotle mayonnaise added a nice smoky flavor that balanced out the richness of the avocado.
