  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread

  • 2 cups watercress

Method

1

Remove Silver Fern Farms Beef Flat-Iron Steaks from fridge and packaging. Season with pepper and 1 tsp olive oil. Allow to bloom at room temperature for 10 mins. Salt the Beef Flat-Iron Steaks just prior to cooking.

2

Grind the garlic, coriander, onion powder, chipotle powder, and cumin together in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Rub half of the mix over the Beef Flat-Iron Steaks. Combine the remaining spice mix into the mayonnaise and mix well. Cover and set aside.

3

Slice the loaf through the middle, lengthways, then into four pieces. Lightly oil the bread on one side. Heat a frying pan on a medium-high heat and grill the bread on the outsides. Set grilled bread to the side.

4

Heat pan to medium and grill the Flat-Iron Steaks on each side for 2-3 mins.

5

Remove from heat, transfer to a plate and cover the meat loosely with foil to rest for 5 mins. Once rested, slice the Flat-Iron Steaks across the grain into thin pieces.

6

Assemble sandwiches starting with bottom four slices of bread, grill side down. Spread each slice with spicy mayonnaise, top with charred capsicums, watercress and sliced Flat-Iron steak Steaks. Serve with mustard, dill pickle and top with remaining bread.

7

Alternatively, you could use a sandwich press to toast the sandwiches.
