Ingredients
For the Flank Steak:
- ¼ cup of adobo sauce
- ½ cup of Canola Oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons of sea salt
- juice of ½ lime
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 ½ pound flank steak
For the sandwich:
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 large finely minced clove of garlic
- 4 peeled plantains cut into thirds then sliced in half longways
- 12 lices of American cheese
- 3 thinly sliced vine ripe tomatoes
- 12 leaves of green leaf lettuce
- thinly sliced red onions
Instructions
- Flank Steak: Combine the adobo sauce, oil, salt, lime juice and sugar into a bowl and whisk together and transfer to a plastic bag along with the flank steak. Move the ingredients around so the steak is covered and marinate while prepping the other ingredients or overnight.
- Aioli: In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, salt, lemon juice and garlic until combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Add some about 1 ½ cups of oil to a 10” cast iron skillet and heat until it reaches about 350° to 375° and add in ½ of the plantains and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place them on a sheet tray lined with paper towels to let drain and cool for few seconds before mashing with the back of a pan or a tortilla shell maker.
- Place the smashed plantains back into the fryer and cook for 2 minutes or just until crispy. Set aside and repeat with the other ½ of the plantains.
- Once everything is prepped up add the flank steak to a very large sauté pan over medium-high heat and cook until a medium-rare internal temperature is achieved, about 7 minutes per side.
- Set aside to rest for 2 minutes and then slice very thin on a bias and against the grain. Keep warm.
- To Plate: Later up a fried plantain, American cheese, aioli, sliced flank steak, tomatoes, onions, aioli and fried plantain.
