Ingredients
Scale
Steak:
- 1 lb flank steak or good quality skirt steak
- freshly ground sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 4 TBS Worcestershire sauce
- 4 TBS olive oil
- 1 onion
- 4 – 6 brioche burger buns or fresh bakery buns (meat should be enough for 6)

- garlic salt
- 1 avocado
- 1 yellow onion
Pesto Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2–3 TBS favorite pre-made or homemade pesto

Instructions
Steak Marinade
- First make the marinade. Mix olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, freshly ground salt and pepper together in a dish.
- Then spread marinade evenly over the meat on both sides in a glass Pyrex dish.
- Marinate in the fridge up until one hour before grilling. If you grill within an hour, let it rest outside the fridge at room temperature. ***It’s best to grill meat at room temperature. You can prepare the aoli and sautéed onions while the meat rests.
- Begin warming your grill to medium heat. Grill the steak 6-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the meat. Tenderized meat is often thinner and will cook more quickly. The internal temperature should be at least 135°-140° (for medium). You can adjust according to your preference. See grilling tips as needed.
- Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Pesto Aioli Sauce
- Combine 1/2 cup mayo, 1 – 2 cloves pressed garlic, and 2 – 3 tBS pre made pesto, salt and pepper.
- Mix and taste to check for ample salt, pepper, and garlic.
Sautéed Onions
- Cut onion into thin slices
- Sauté the sliced onions in 2 TBS olive oil until browned over medium high heat.
Buns
- Turn oven to broil.
- Then, lay buns face up on a baking sheet.
- Next, spread butter over the inside of each bun & sprinkle with a little bit of garlic salt.
- Finally, broil until lightly browned.
Assembling the Sandwich
- Slice avocados into thin slices.
- Spread the pesto aioli on the bottom of each bun.
- Layer the steak, avocado, and sautéed onions on top, and the other side of the bun and SERVE!
