Ingredients
1 ½poundsskirt steak
3tablespoonsolive oil, divided
1tablespoonmontreal steak seasoning
1teaspoonkosher salt
1large focaccia loaf
2cupsarugula
1small cucumber, sliced thin
1shallot, sliced thin
½cupmayonnaise
1lemon, zest only
¼cupminced parsley
Instructions
Rub skirt steak well with about 1 tablespoon olive oil oil, steak seasoning, and kosher salt. Let rest while you preheat your pan or grill to medium-high heat.
Slice focaccia roll in half and drizzle cut side with olive oil (1 tablespoon per side). Add focaccia to your grill or skillet, olive oil side down, and toast for a few minutes.
Remove focaccia and add skirt steak. Cook skirt steak on the grill or in a sturdy cast iron skillet for 4-5 minutes per side. The steak should reach an internal temperature of at least 140˚ F. When steak is cooked through, remove it from the heat and let rest until it has cooled off and is just warm.
Meanwhile, slice up cucumbers, shallots, and mix up the mayo.
Slather bottom roll with a few tablespoons of lemon parsley mayo. Top with arugula, sliced cucumbers, and shallot.
Slice skirt steak against the grain and then pile on to the sandwich.
Slather top piece of focaccia with more mayo and add to sandwich. Press the sandwich down and slice it into hand-sized pieces. I use a square focaccia and cut mine into 9 even pieces.
Serve sandwiches right away or wrap tightly and store in the fridge for 24 hours.
