A touch of hot chili-garlic sauce in our cheater aioli (ay-OH-lee, a strong garlicky mayo that originated in Provence, France), adds a zesty twist - and oomph to any grilled steak.

Grilled Steak Sandwiches

Slice 1 to 2 baguettes in half horizontally, then slice into large sandwich-size pieces. Generously spread bread with aioli. Scatter with a few mixed greens. Top with steak slices, then thin slices of red onion or tomato. Cover with baguette tops. Great warm or at room temperature.
