Broil Veggies
1

Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.

Core, then cut the poblanos into 1/4-inch strips. Toss the onions and poblanos with 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Broil veggies in the middle of the oven, until tender, 5-6 min.

Cook steak
2

While the veggies broil, pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season all over with half the Chipotle Powder (dbl for 4 ppl), half the Mexican Seasoning and salt. Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the steak. Sear until golden-brown,1-2 min per side. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the steak to another baking sheet. Broil in the bottom of the oven, until cooked to desired doneness, 5-8 min.**

Finish prep
3

While the steak cooks, halve the tomatoes. Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. Roughly chop the cilantro. Stir together the mayo, cilantro and remaining Mexican Seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.

TOSS SALAD
4

Whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, 1 tbsp oil and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes and spring mix, then toss to coat. Set aside.

Toast rolls
5

When steak is done cooking, transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for 2-3 min. Carefully open rolls, and arrange them cut side up on another baking sheet. Sprinkle with the cheese. Broil in the top of the oven, until cheese melts, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on your buns so that they don't burn!)

Finish and serve
6

Slice the steak. Spread mayo onto bottom rolls, then add steak and veggies and finish with top rolls. Serve with the salad on the side.
