INSTRUCTIONS
\nMAKE THE CHIPOTLE SAUCE
\nTo make the chipotle sauce, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, black pepper, chili powder, and adobo sauce in a small bowl. Once smooth, set it aside.<\/p>\n
MAKE THE GARLIC AND HERB SPREAD
\nTo a small bowl, add the mayo, parsley, garlic, parmesan, black pepper, and oregano. Mix together and set aside.<\/p>\n
MAKE THE STEAK
\nUse a paper to wet to pat the filet mignon dry. Season all sides with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Over high heat, get a cast iron skillet very hot! Add a splash of vegetable oil and once you see smoke coming off the pan, add the steak. Do not disturb it and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Once a golden crust form, flip to the other side and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Drop the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Tilt the pan and baste the butter on the steak for another 2 to 3 minutes. This will achieve a medium rare steak. Cook longer if you\u2019d like it more well done. Transfer the steak to a plate or cutting board and cover with foil for 10 minutes. Then slice and it\u2019s ready to go.<\/p>\n
ASSEMBLING
\nTo toast the bread, turn the oven to broil. Spread the garlic mayo on one side of the bread and pop it in the oven for a few minutes until golden and toasted. Make sure to watch it closely so it doesn’t burn. To assemble, add a little chipotle mayo on one side of the bread, then lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, steak, a drizzle of chipotle aioli, a sprinkle of parmesan and parsley, and then the bread on top. Press it all down and slice in half to enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
