Ingredients

1 lb. skirt or flank steak

Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning, to taste

2 1/2 Tbsp. Chilean Merquen Seasoning, divided

2 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice, divided 2 Tbsp. orange juice 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup olive oil 1 avocado 5 to 6 grape tomatoes, quartered 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened

1/2 tsp. Granulated Garlic

4 (6-inch) segments French or Italian bread, halved lengthwise 8 oz. Beer Battered Green Beans* 1/4 cup Merquen Spiced Dipping Sauce*

Directions

Step 1 Season steak with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix 2 Tbsp. of the Chilean Merquen and 2 Tbsp. of the lime juice with the orange juice, vinegar and oil. Place steak and marinade in a zip top bag, seal, shake to coat steak, and refrigerate for 30 min.

Step 2 Mash avocado with remaining 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice, season with salt and pepper, fold in tomatoes, cover and refrigerate.

Step 3 Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Heat grill to medium high. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry and season with remaining 1/2 Tbsp. Chilean Merquen. Mix butter with granulated garlic, season with salt and pepper, and use to butter inside of each piece of bread. Place buttered side up on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden, about 20 min. Meanwhile, cook steak on grill to desire doneness. Remove and let rest 5 min. Slice across the grain into 1/2-inch strips.

Step 4 Place a layer of avocado mixture on inside of each bottom piece of toasted bread, top with a layer of steak strips and then a layer of green beans. Spread Merquen dipping sauce on inside of each top piece of toasted bread, place on top of the green beans and serve.
