5 from 4 votes

Ingredients  

  • 1 bag, 12 ounces green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 1 flank, or sirloin steak (about 1lbs and 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon Badia complete seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons grape seed or canola oil
  • 4 large frica rolls, or any other roll kind, sliced lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • Hot sauce, optional

Instructions 

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil, over medium high heat. Once boiling, add salt and then the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, until tender but still al dente, drain and transfer to an ice bath (a bowl filled with water and ice) to stop the cooking process. Drain and reserve.
  • Season the steak with the seasoned salt. Grill steak in an outdoor grill or in a cast iron pan indoors at high heat for about 4 minutes on each side or until medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Then, slice thinly against the grain.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread the inside of the rolls with mayo. Layer with steak and then top with sliced tomatoes, green beans and some dashes of hot sauce. Close the sandwiches with the top rolls and serve!
