Grilled-steak sandwiches with salsa fresca

Jodi Pudge

Ingredients

3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
2-Jan small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 top-sirloin steak, about 500 g, at room temperature
4 kaiser buns, cut in half

Instructions

Preheat barbecue to medium-high.
Stir tomatoes with garlic, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, vinegar and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Lightly rub steak with vegetable oil and sprinkle both sides with remaining salt. Season with pepper.
Oil grill, then barbecue steak, uncovered, for 4 to 6 min per side for medium-rare if steak is 1 in. thick. Transfer steak to a cutting board. Let stand 5 min, then slice into thin strips. Grill buns, cut-side down, until toasted, 2 min. Top buns with steak and salsa.

Cooking Tip

Room-temperature steaks cook faster and more evenly. Let them sit out for about 1 hour before grilling.
