Mexican Steak Torta image

This is a Mexican sandwich filled with char grilled steak, beans, avocado, lettuce and tomato all served up on a warm toasted roll. Growing up in Southern California this has become a family favorite. If cotija cheese is not available, use cheddar. Serve warm with Spanish rice.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound sirloin steak
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
ground cayenne pepper to taste
4 kaiser rolls, split
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup refried beans
1 large avocado, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 ounce crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Season steak with garlic salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
  • 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.
  • 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 bowl in the microwave, about 1 minute on High, and slice the sirloin steak into thin strips.
  • 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.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The steak was tough and the flavors were bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This torta was delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful, and the pickled onions and avocado were the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.

This Mexican steak torta recipe was a huge hit with my family! The steak was tender and juicy, and the flavors of the marinade were amazing. The pickled onions and avocado added a nice freshness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
