Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound Beef Skirt Steak, (cut into 4 pieces)
- 7 ounces (1 container) refrigerated reduced-fat pesto, divided
- 1/4 cup light (1/2 the carlories & fat of mayonnaise) mayonnaise
- 6 hoagie rolls (6-inch), split lengthwise
- 1 jar (6.5 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Directions
1. Place beef steak and 1/2 cup pesto in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat steak. Close bag securely; marinate in refrigerator 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 7 to 12 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill 8 to 12 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Carve steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
3. Combine remaining pesto with mayonnaise in small bowl.
4. Spread cut sides of hoagie rolls with pesto-mayo mixture. Layer bottom of rolls with equal amounts beef; top with artichoke hearts and cheese slice.
5. Place open-faced sandwiches on rack of broiler pan, with hoagie roll tops, cut-side-up next to sandwiches, so surface of sandwich is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 1 minute or until cheese is melted and cut sides of buns are toasted. Close sandwiches.
