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.

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.
