Grilled Steak, Avocado, and Spicy Crema Sandwiches are hearty, flavorful sandwiches featuring juicy grilled steak, creamy avocado, and a zesty, slightly spicy crema on toasted bread. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a casual weekend meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (flank, skirt, or sirloin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 sandwich rolls or slices of bread (ciabatta, hoagie, or sourdough)
  • 1–2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • Optional: lettuce or arugula
  • Optional: tomato slices
  • For the spicy crema:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce or chili sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Brush steak with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
  2. Grill steak over medium-high heat 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  3. Remove steak from grill and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  4. While steak rests, mix sour cream, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, and salt to make the spicy crema.
  5. Lightly toast the bread on the grill or in a skillet until warm and slightly crisp.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by layering sliced steak, avocado, and optional lettuce or tomato. Drizzle generously with spicy crema.
  7. Close sandwiches, slice if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add caramelized onions or grilled peppers for extra depth.
  • Substitute steak with grilled chicken or portobello mushrooms for a different protein.
  • Mix chopped jalapeños or chipotle sauce into the crema for more heat.
  • Store leftover steak separately and assemble sandwiches fresh to keep bread and avocado perfect.
