Ingredients:
- 4 Beef Top Sirloin Steaks (about 1 pound)
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1-1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 slices pepper Jack cheese
- 4 bolillo or telera rolls, sliced lengthwise, toasted
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 head iceburg lettuce
- 1 avocado, pitted, sliced
Cilantro-Lime Sauce:
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 3 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Cooking:
-
Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper in shallow dish. Whisk eggs and water together in shallow bowl until blended. Combine bread crumbs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and garlic powder in separate shallow dish.
-
Place Sirloin Steaks between sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Dip each steak in flour mixture to coat both sides lightly; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in bread crumb mixture to coat.
-
Heat 1/4 cup oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place 2 steaks in skillet; cook 5 minutes or until coating is crisp and golden and beef is medium rare (145°F), turning once. (Do not overcook.) Remove steaks. Top each with slice of cheese and keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, if needed, steaks and cheese.
-
Meanwhile, for cilantro-lime sauce, combine sauce ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
-
Place tomato, lettuce, avocado and steak on bottom halves of rolls. Drizzle with cilantro-lime sauce; close sandwiches. Cut in half to serve.
