SPICY GRILLED DENVER CUT AND VEGETABLE TORTA
Total preparation and cooking time: 45 to 50 minutes
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds beef chuck underblade center (Denver Cut) steaks, cut 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium poblano peppers
1 medium white onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1/3 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
4 oval sandwich rolls (each 6 to 7 inches long), split
salt
1 avocado, sliced
1. Combine cumin and black pepper; press evenly onto beef steaks. Set aside.
2. Place poblano peppers and onion on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 15
to 20 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 15 to 20 minutes) or until
tender and pepper skins are completely blackened, turning frequently. Place peppers in foodsafe
plastic bag; close bag. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile combine mayonnaise, lime peel and lime juice in small bowl. Set aside. Slightly
hollow out centers of split sandwich rolls. Set aside.
4. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 14 minutes (over
medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 12 to 17 minutes) for medium rare to medium
doneness, turning occasionally. About 2 minutes before steaks are done, place rolls, cut sides
down, on grid. Grill 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
5. Remove and discard skins, stems and seeds from peppers. Cut peppers into 1-inch thick
slices; cut onion slices in half.
6. Carve steaks into slices. Season steaks with salt, as desired. Spread mayonnaise mixture over
toasted top and bottom halves of each roll. Evenly layer avocado, beef, peppers and onion on
each roll bottom. Close sandwiches, pressing slightly together.
Makes 4 servings.
Cook’s Tip: Use bread pieces removed from sandwich rolls for bread crumbs for later use. To
make bread crumbs, place bread pieces in food processor or blender container. Cover; pulse on and
off to form fine crumbs.
